Pad Mode 7—Tone Sel/Sw
The Tone Sel/Sw (for “Tone Select/Switch”) pad mode is a
great power tool when you’re editing patches. Each patch
is made up of as many as four “tones.” Tones produce the
sound waves that form the basis of a patch’s sound. The
Tone Sel/Sw pad mode lets you quickly select a tone for
editing, or turn a tone on or off.
If you’re in
Single mode—
•
the pads control the tones in the currently selected
patch. If you’re playing a rhythm set on the keyboard, the pads control
the four waves used by the rhythm tone you’ve most recently played.
Live or Studio mode—
•
the pads control the tones in the patch played by
the currently selected part. If you’ve selected a part that uses a rhythm
set and the part’s KBD switch is on, the pads control the waves in the
last-played rhythm tone.
Pads 1-4—
•
turn Tones 1-4, respectively, on or off.
Pads 5-8—
•
select Tones 1-4, respectively, for editing.
In a rhythm set, each key on the keyboard plays a different rhythm
tone that can use up to four sound waves.
When a tone is selected or turned off, its pad is unlit. You can also see
the state of your tones on the Pad Setting screen.
