35 Editing the Sounds
You can edit each single parameter of a Sound. Pa1000 is, at its core, a pow-
erful sample-based synthesizer, with advanced analogue-like sound shaping
features.
Sound generation
At the base of each Sound there are Samples, that are recordings of real
sounds.
Each Sample is assigned to a separate zone of the keyboard together with
other Samples to create a Multisample. One or two Multisamples are as-
signed to each Oscillator.
Up to twenty-four Oscillators can be put together to make a Sound. In a
Sound, Oscillators are balanced, layered, and processed by the Effects.
Sounds are the basic unit of the Pa1000’s timbre, and can be combined in
Sound sets called Keyboard Sets. They can also be assigned to Style and
Song tracks.
Accessing Sound editing
1 Press the SOUND button in the MODE section of the control panel to go to
the corresponding mode.
2 Press the MENU button and touch any of the buttons in the edit menu to
choose the Sound Edit section.
