EDITING AND CHANGING SOUNDS
Any sound on the SK760/880SE can be edited
to your taste. This editing can consist of any-
thing from the simplest adjustment of the sound’s
tone or volume level, to a complete reconstruc-
tion of the sound, resulting in a totally original
and personal sound.
Editing always begins by selecting one of the
sounds currently in the instrument’s memory as
a starting point for the sound you’re going to cre-
ate. When you edit a sound, you can decide, at
any point, to either save the new sound you’ve
made or to just quit editing and go back to using
the instrument as before. This procedure is ex-
plained in detail under STORING SOUNDS .
There are two different ways to edit a sound.
The first method is EDIT PERFORMANCE
SOUND which lets you modify the sound “indi-
rectly” by programming the parameters that are
exclusive to the tracks of the current Perform-
ance. Any sound that you assign to the edited
track, therefore, will inherit the modifications ap-
plied. This is a quick and easy method, using a
set of Performance parameters under EDIT
SOUND/SOUND PATCH of the Edit Performance
section.
The second method is ADVANCED EDIT SOUND
which allows you to intervene on the Sound’s pa-
rameters, going deep into the sound’s structure
and changing it’s characteristics. The result is a
new RAM-Sound that you can store to any empty
slot of the Banks within the SOUND GROUP fami-
lies. You will then be able to assign your new
RAM-Sound to any track of any Performance.
