ORIGINAL tuning
Each instrument of each sound has its own origi-
nal tuning data. This setting affects the tuning
curve that spans the entire keyboard. So, for
example, the acoustic piano-type sounds dupli-
cate those of a real piano, in that the high notes
are tuned slightly higher and the low notes
slightly lower.
You can specify for each part whether this origi-
nal tuning is enabled or not.
1.Use the PART SELECT ∧ and ∨ buttons to
select a part.
2.Use the ORIGINAL TUNING ON/OFF button
to select ON or OFF.
Sound Load Option
The data for each individual sound is set with the most suitable  effect settings, etc., but in some cases
when switching from one sound to another and these settings are recalled, the setup is not the way you
want it. By using the SOUND LOAD OPTION, you can adjust the settings so that specific data is not
recalled.
1.On the SOUND MENU display, select SOUND
LOAD OPTION.
The display looks similar to the following.
2.Use the  and  buttons to select an item.
Use the 
∧ and ∨ button to set the filter to ON
or OFF.

Part X   Sound Edit
Outline of the Sound Edit
SOUND EDIT enables you to create your own new sound by altering one of the this instrument’s preset
sounds. Your new sound can be stored in one of the sound memory locations. SOUND EDIT has two
methods of use. You can edit in detail using functions more commonly associated with a synthesizer, or
you can use EASY EDIT which allows you to change some basic parameters on one page.
1.Select a sound to edit.
2.Turn on the PROGRAM MENUS button.
 The display looks similar to the following.
3.Select SOUND EDIT.
 The display looks similar to the following.
4.Select the desired menu and follow the proce-
dures on the corresponding setting display.

SOLO button to highlight the SOLO indication.
Only the currently selected tone sounds when
a key is played.
 When the TEMPO/PROGRAM indicator is lit,
it indicates that the TEMPO/PROGRAM is
available for setting the current function.
5.When the sound is just the way you like it, on
the SOUND EDIT MENU display press the
WRITE button to store your new sound. Press the EDITED (or ORIGINAL) button to
switch between the modified sound (EDITED)
and the original sound (ORIGINAL). This
allows you to compare the edited sound to the
original sound as you are modifying it.

SOUND EDIT is activated, the setting display
looks different from that for other sounds, but
the basic operation is the same. (To specify

Tone Edit
Modify the separate tones which comprise the sound.
About tones
A sound may be made up of at most four tones.
A special process is used to produce real-
sounding piano type tones. For this reason,
some edit procedures for piano sounds, FIL-
TER or AMPLITUDE for example, may differ
from those for other sounds.

cates that a TONE DYNAMICS change was
made to the sound.
4.Use the LEVEL ∧ and ∨ buttons to adjust the
volume.
5.Use the KEY ∧ and ∨ buttons to set the pitch
of the output sound.

CTR is the center point. At L64, the sound is
all the way to the left, at R63 all the way to
the right.
9.Use the DELAY ∧ and ∨ buttons to adjust
the delay time of the sound.
The higher the number, the longer the delay
before sound output.
10.Use the TRIGGER ∧ and ∨ buttons to select

specified tone in the sound you are editing.
1.On the 1/4 display, press the TONE COPY
button.
2.Use the FROM ∧ and ∨ buttons to select the
tone to copy from.
Use the OPTION 
∧ and ∨ buttons to select the
item you wish to copy.
3.Use the TO ∧ and ∨ buttons to select the tone
you wish to copy to.
4.Press the OK button.
Tone copy is executed.
KEY LAYER
Adjust the relation of tone output to keyboard
location.
1.Use the PAGE buttons to view the 2/4 display.
The display looks similar to the following.
2.Use the buttons to the left of the display to
select a tone (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th).
Use the

item and then the 
∧ and ∨ buttons to specify a

3.Use the L-FADE ∧ and ∨ buttons and the
LOW 
∧ and ∨ buttons to define the area of the
lower range of tone output.
By entering different values for the L-FADE
and LOW settings, you can define a sloping
volume increase to the peak output volume
which corresponds to the note pitch.
4.Use the HIGH ∧ and ∨ buttons and the H-
FADE 
∧ and ∨ buttons to define the area of
the higher range of tone output.
By entering different values for the H-FADE
and HIGH settings, you can define a sloping
volume decrease from the peak output which
corresponds to the note pitch.
By overlapping the L-FADE and H-FADE
curves of each different tone, you can achieve
a cross-fade effect, where the sound gradually
changes in relation to pitch.
5.Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the other tones, as
desired.
