Editing Programs with Tone Adjust
UsingToneAdjust,youcanmakedetailededitsto
ProgramswithinthecontextoftheCombi.Theseedits
willnotaffecttheoriginalProgram,oranyother
CombiswhichusetheProgram.ToeditaProgram
withToneAdjust:
1. PresstheTONEADJ/EQbuttonunderCONTROL
ASSIGN.
TheTONEADJUSTLEDwillli

2.
GototheControlSurfacetabofthePlaypage.
ThispagemirrorstheControlSurface.It’sveryuseful
withToneAdjust,sinceitshowsyoutheparameter
assignments,exactvalues,andsoon.
3. SelecttheTimbrewhoseparametersyou’dliketo
adjust.
