Selecting Patches and Playing Sounds
The V-Synth comes with a wide range of onboard sounds, including single tones
called patches. Let’s select a few patches to get an idea of the variety of sounds
available with the V-Synth.
1
Make sure the PATCH PLAY screen is displayed.
If the PATCH PLAY screen—shown below—is not displayed, press [EXIT] once or
twice until the PATCH PLAY screen appears.

Play the keyboard to hear what the selected patch sounds like.
3
To change to a different patch, touch the patch number to highlight it,
and then turn the VALUE dial or press [INC/+] [DEC/-]. At this time you
can switch more rapidly by holding down [SHIFT] while you perform
these operations.

Patch number
Alternately, you can touch the
patch number and drag your
finger up and down—or right
and left—to change patches.
For details on the factory-set
patches in the V-Synth’s
memory, refer to “Sound List”
(separate booklet).
