Creating your own Tone
You can modify the settings of a Preset Tone to create
your own original Tone. A Tone that you create can
be stored as a User Tone.
Eight parameters (aspects) of a Tone are available for
you to modify. These parameters are organized into
three groups; vibrato, filter, and envelope. You can
create your own original Tone by modifying these
parameters.
What aspects of a Tone can be modi-
fied?
[1]Vibrato (VIBRATO)
The following settings control the manner in which
Vibrato (a gentle pitch fluctuation) is applied.
Vibrato Rate (Vib Rate)
Acceptable Values: -50 — +50
Adjusts the speed of the vibrato.
Vibrato Depth (Vib Depth)
Acceptable Values: -50 — +50
Adjusts the depth of the vibrato.
Vibrato Delay (Vib Delay)
Acceptable Values: -50 — +50
This setting allows you to adjust the interval that is to
pass from the moment a key is pressed until the
moment that Vibrato begins to take effect.
[2] Filter(FILTER)
The following settings allow you to you alter the
nuance of a sound by changing its harmonic content.
Cut-Off Frequency (FilterCutoff)
Acceptable Values: -50 — +16
Sets the frequency at which harmonics will be cut.
Resonance (Filter Reso)
Acceptable Values: -50 — +50
Provides an adjustment for the amount of emphasis to
be placed on the harmonics in the vicinity of the
Cutoff Frequency.
[3]Envelope (ENVELOPE)
The following settings create the change in volume
and Cutoff Frequency that will occur over time.
Attack Time (Env Attack)
Acceptable Values: -50 — +50
Adjusts the time it takes for the initial portion of a
sound (the ‘attack’) to be heard after a key is pressed.
34
Decay Time (Env Decay)
Acceptable Values: -50 — +50
Adjusts the time it will take for the sound to reach the
“Sustain Level.” The Sustain Level is the point at
which most of the volume/cut-off frequency modifi-
cations have stabilized.
Release Time (Env Release)
Acceptable Values: -50 — +50
Adjusts the time it takes for the sound to fade away
after a key is released.
A: Attack time
D: Decay time
R: Release time sound ends

Procedure for creating and saving a
Tone
Follow the steps given below in “Creating a Tone”
and “Saving a modified Tone” as a continuous proce-
dure. “Creating a Tone” explains the procedure for
modifying a Tone. “Saving a modified Tone” explains
the procedure for writing the new data into memory.
If you wish to modify and save two or more Tones,
repeat this entire procedure for each Tone.

you will return to the previous item.
5. Use VALUE[-]/[+] to set the value of the parameter.
