Hints on Creating a User Tone
• Use a preset tone that is similar to
the one you are trying to create.
When you already have a general
idea of the tone you are trying to
create, it is a good idea to start with
a similar preset tone. If you want to
use a layered tone, start out with a
2DCO tone.
• Determine the most important
parameter. The PCM Set and Amp
Envelope Set parameters are the
major factors that determine the
overall tone characteristic. Start out
by setting these two parameters to
get the general sound you want, and
then set the other parameters to add
the finishing touches.
• Experiment with different settings.
There are no real rules about what a
tone should sound like. Let your
imagination run free and experiment
with different combinations. You
might be surprised at what you can
achieve!

appears. Press to delete.
The parameters of the default tone for
that number are restored.
USING THE
REGISTRATION MEMORY
Your keyboard can save different setups
of controls in its registration memory.
This lets you instantly recall your favorite
settings. The registration memory con-
sists of eight banks (0-7), and each bank
has four memory locations (A – D), total-
ing up to 32 settings. You can save each
of the following settings in each registra-
tion memory:
• tone
• rhythm
• tempo
• split on/off
• split point
• layer on/off
• mixer settings (Channels 1 – 4)
• keyboard channel on/off (Channels
1 – 10)
• reverb settings
• touch response settings
• assignable jack setting (see “Using
a Sustain Pedal” on Page 26)
• transpose (see “Changing Keys” on
Page 24)
• tuning (see “Tuning the Keyboard”
on Page 25)
• pitch bend range (see “Using Pitch
Bend” on Page 26)
• accompaniment volume
Notes:
• You cannot use the registration
memory while you are using the
synthesizer, memory, or demo tune
functions.
• You cannot delete a registration
setup from memory, but you can
store a different setup in its place.
