Sound Mode
Sound mode is the most basic mode of the SP7, and can be entered by pressing the front panel SOUND mode
button. A list of Sound presets are displayed on the screen. The name of the currently selected Sound preset and its
ID appear in the title area at the top of the display.
3-1. Sound Preset List
The Sound Preset and Category list are displayed in a left and right column format. Category selections are displayed
on the left and Sound presets are displayed on the right.
Each category has a designated color. Since the color of the category to which each Sound belongs is also displayed, it
is easy to see at a glance which category a given Sound belongs to.
The Sounds built into the instrument are called Factory Presets, and as such they have a letter “F” in front of the Preset
ID to help identify them. Sounds created by the user are called USER presets and they have a letter “U” in front of the
Preset ID. These character markings help to distinguish whether a given Sound is a Factory Preset or User creation.
The SP7 Sound Categories consist of PIANO, E.PIANO, CLAV, ORGAN, STRING, PAD, ENSEMBLE, BRASS, WINDS,
SYNTH, GUITAR/BASS, DRUMS/PERC, MISC, and the USER category is displayed at the end of the list.
