Editing a Synth Tone

Synth tones are synthesizer-type SuperNATURAL sounds.

These tones allow you to freely create original sounds, as on

an analog synthesizer. One tone can produce the sound of

three synthesizers, each with an oscillator (OSC), lter (FILTER),

and amplier (AMP). The oscillator (OSC) provides not only

the waveforms of a standard analog synthesizer, but also PCM

waveforms.

MEMO

• It’s not possible to edit SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tones, Manual

Percussion, or Drums/SFX.

• To modify Synth tones from the Live Set, refer to “Editing the

Tones Assigned to a Layer (Tone Modify)” (Owner’s Manual; p.

60).

Tips for editing Synth Tones

Decide which layers you want to hear

Live Set consists of up to four tones. Editing will be easier if

you’re listening to only the layer with the Synth Tone that you

want to edit (turn its layer button on) (Owner's Manual; p. 58).

Turn the eect o

The Live Set may apply an eect to the layer, causing the

Synth Tone to sound dierent than it otherwise would. If you

turn o the eect, you’ll hear the actual sound of the Synth

Tone itself, and it will be easier to discern the results of your

editing (Owner's Manual; p. 58).

1. From the Menu screen (Owner’s Manual; p. 35) select

“Edit” “SynthTone (UPPER)” “Layer 1–4” (the tone you

want to edit).

The SYNTH EDIT screen will appear.

MEMO

• You can also access the SYNTH EDIT screen by positioning

the cursor at the Synth Tone that you want to edit in the Live

Set screen (Owner’s Manual; p. 36) and then pressing the [F4]

(MODIFY)

[F6] (SYN EDIT) buttons.

• You can access the SYNTH EDIT screen for individual layers by

holding down the [SHIFT] button while you press one of the

buttons below (shortcut).

About Screens for Saving Registrations/Live

Sets: When Synth Tones Have Been Edited

If Tone parameters have been edited, the check box on left of

the Tone name will be marked automatically when you save the

Registration or Live Set.

You have the option of saving the edited Tones at the same time
