Selecting and Playing a Tone
E-13
IMPORTANT!
You can select a tone for each zone in both the
MASTER CONTROL and CARD PLAYER modes.
Note however that some procedures and operations
(lamp lighting status) when a tone is selected for
each zone in the CARD PLAYER mode are different
from those in the case of the MASTER CONTROL
mode.
Here, explanations are based on selecting a tone for
each zone in the MASTER CONTROL mode. For
information about selecting tones in the CARD
PLAYER mode, see “To select a tone for each zone
in the CARD PLAYER mode” (page E-44).
NOTE
When using Layer and/or Split to play more than
one tone at the same time, you can adjust the volume
balance of each zone, perform octave shift for each
zone, and configure detailed settings for the effects
applied to zones. For details about parameters that
can be configured and setting procedures, see
“Editing Zone Parameters” (page E-28).
