Changing Sounds
(Patches)
A
"Patch"
is the
normal unit of play for
the _IV-1DBO. A Patch
is made up of a
combination of up to
four "Tones."
Quite a few Patches are made up
of three or four
Tones. To change the various
parameters
that
form
a Patch
(this
is called "Patch
editing"), you need
to consider the Patch in two
ways
—
as a single
entity, and as sometliing made
up of individual Tones.
For
instance, let's say that
you're editing the sound
of a Patch
composed of a single Tone.
When you call
up the Tone and
edit it, then in most cases
the sound of
the Patch changes
just as you expect it to.
But what happens
when you
edit
a
Patch composed
of a number of Tones?
Even when you
call up and
edit one of the
Tones xnaking up
the Patch, the
overall sound may hardly change
at all. In cases
like tliis,
you need to
call up and edit the
remaining Tones
one by one, and keep
checking the
overall sound as
you're editing to
make sure that the Tones
all balance
with each other.
Keeping this in
mind, let's
pick
a
Patch and try editing it.
Use
the procedure
described in
"
Playing
the Keyboard"
(«®
p.
14)
to call up a Patch.
Decide on the
Tone that you
want to
edit.
Make
sure that the
PARAMETER
mdicator is not Ut up.
Here's
how the
FUNCTION SELECT
buttons
work: the four buttons
on the left are used
to choose the
Tones to be
played ("TONE
SWITCH"),
and the
four on the
right choose the
Tones to be edited
("TONE
SELECT").

You can press

each
Tone in turn to
check out
how it sounds.
In this
example we'll edit only
Tone 1 as
we play it, so press
