■ Selecting basic sounds (normal parts)
On the SC-D70, the sounds for a normal part are specified using two numbers: the
instrument number and the variation number. The 128 sounds whose variation
number is 000 are the basic sounds (capital sounds).
1. Make sure that the PART sound generator indicator is lit.
If it is not lit, press [PART].
2. Press [INC] or [DEC] to select a normal part (a part that is not a drum part).
3. Press [INST], getting the INST sound generator indicator to light.
Now the display window will show the instrument number.
4. Press [DEC] or [INC] to select a sound. Pressing [DEC] will decrement the
instrument number, while pressing [INC] will increment the instrument
number. You can select an instrument number in the range of 001–128.
■ Selecting a variation sound (normal part)
Normal parts of the SC-D70 can play the basic capital sounds, and variation
sounds that have a somewhat differing character from the capital sounds. Here’s
how to select variation sounds.
1. Make sure that the PART sound generator indicator is lit.
If it is not lit, press [PART].
2. Press [INC] or [DEC] to select a normal part (a part other than a drum part).
3. Press [INST], getting the INST sound generator indicator to light.
4. Press [DEC] or [INC] to select the instrument number of the desired
variation sound.
Until this point, the procedure has been the same as for selecting basic sounds
(capital sounds).
5. Simultaneously press [DEC] and [INC]. The INST sound generator
indicator will blink.
In this state, the display window will show the variation number.
6. Press [DEC] or [INC] to select a variation sound.
By default, A10 and B10 are
drum parts.
Refer to the Instrument list
(p. 58) to see the sound to
which each instrument
number corresponds.
Some of the sounds in the
SC-D70 may not sound
above or below a certain
pitch. This is because the
sounds have been created
with the ranges of actual
instruments in mind.
When you press [INST] to
change the instrument
number, the variation
sound for that number will
b
e selected.
To return to the capital
sound from the state where
the INST sound generator
indicator is blinking, go
b
ack to variation number
000 and then press [INST]
to select the sound.
