Selecting and Creating Tones
The tones of this Synthesizer are made up of the 16 parts shown below, plus externally input parts. This chapter explains how to
select, edit, and save tones using Zone Part 1
*
in the Tone Mode (page E-11).
It also covers the Effect Function that can be used to enhance tones and controllers that can be used to make various changes in
a tone as you play.
* About zones and zone parts
Keyboard, pedal, button, and other operations not only affect the Synthesizers preset tones, they are also sent as MIDI data and
affect any external device (electronic musical instrument or computer) connected to the Synthesizer.
The settings that apply to both internal and external parts are collectively referred to as a “zone” while the parts of the
Synthesizer’s built-in sound source that correspond to a zone is called “zone parts”. For example, if you select a tone with
Synthesizer Zone 2, that tone can be the part that corresponds to both the internal sound source Zone Part 2 or MIDI Channel 2
of an external device.
