Chapter 2 Creating You Own Favorite Tones (Patches)
Finding Tones Resembling Those
You Have in Mind (EZ Tone)
In addition to tones (patches) that you can actually use in
performances, the GT-6 also features internal sample settings
that are very useful when you want to create such tones on
your own. This feature is called “EZ Tone.”
Using the EZ Tone function lets you find tone settings similar
to the ones you want to create.

before entering EZ Tone mode with the present tone.
4. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.
The tone switches to the tone selected in EZ Tone.
* Pressing [EXIT] while the readout is flashing (when the tone
prior to switching to EZ Tone mode is selected) returns you to
the patch that was selected before going into EZ Tone mode.
* If you want to save a tone you’ve created, use the Write
procedure (p. 22) to save it to a User patch.
Adjusting the Tones with the
Knobs
The GT-6 panel features fifteen knob controls. These knobs
let you make adjustments or changes to the selected patch’s
tone quickly and easily.
