Combination mode
In Combination mode you select, play and edit combi-
nations.
Combination mode consists of pages 1.1: Play–7.3: Ed-
MasterFX.
In 1.1: Play you can select and play combinations. You 
can also do some overall editing, and make KARMA 
function settings (☞p.29).
In 2.1: Ed-Basic–7.3: Ed-MasterFX you can edit the 
parameters of the combination that was selected in 1.1: 
Play.
How a combination is organized
A combination consists of a variety of parameters that 
can be accessed in 2.1: Ed-Basic–7.3: Ed-MasterFX. The 
diagram below shows how a combination is struc-
tured.
Basic combination editing
Banks A, B and E of this instrument contain a wide 
variety of combinations that use the preloaded pro-
grams (bank A, B and E) and KARMA function and 
effects. You can edit these combinations, or create your 
own original combinations from an initialized state.
A combination that you edited or created can be writ-
ten into one of 768 combination memory locations in 
banks A–F. Combinations can also be stored or orga-
nized on external media such as floppy disk in Disk 
mode. (☞p.38, p.40)
If a program being edited in Program mode is used 
in a combination, it will sound according to the set-
tings being edited.
If you wish to save an edited combination in inter-
nal memory, you must write it. (☞p.38)
If the separately sold EXB-MOSS option is 
installed, bank F programs can be used for the tim-
bres of a combination. For details on the parame-
ters of bank F programs, refer to the EXB-MOSS 
owner’s manual and PG p.269.
Suggestions for editing procedure
The parameters of each timbre are set in 2.1: Ed-Prog/
Mix–4.4: MIDI Filter4, and 7.1:Ed-BUS. This is where 
you create the basic combination consisting of the pro-
grams you select here.
First use 2.1: Ed-Prog/Mix to select the program for 
each timbre, and then use 3.3: Ed-Key Zone and 3.4: 
Ed-Vel Zone to specify the range in which each pro-
gram will sound (layer, split, velocity switch, etc.). 
Then adjust the volume of each timbre, and set various 
other parameters.
To add finishing touches to the sound, you can make 
insert effect settings (in 7.2: Ed-Insert FX) and master 
effect and master EQ settings (in 7.3: Ed-Master FX) 
that are separate from the effect settings of Program 
mode. In addition, you can make KARMA function set-
tings (in 6.1–6.4: Ed-KARMA.) and controller settings 
(in 2.2: Ed-Ctrl) to create the finished combination.
By using the utility menu command “Solo Selected 
Timbre”, you can listen only to the selected timbre. 
This is a convenient way to audition individual 
sounds of timbres that are layered. (☞p.35)
In pages that display all timbres 1–8, such as 2.1: 
Ed-Prog/Mix, you can use the [ ] [ ] keys to 
select timbres. You can also select timbres directly 
by holding down the [TIMBRE/TRACK] key and 
pressing one of the [F1 
1/9]–[F8 8/16] keys.
