Selecting a sound
If the part type is Inst, use the following procedure to select a sound. First make sure that the part type is
Inst. For details on how to set the part type to Inst, refer to "Selecting the type of part (INST/DRUM)" (p.
24).
On the SD-80, the sound of an Inst part is specified by two numbers: an Instrument number and a
Variation number. There are 128 sounds whose variation number is 000, and these make up the basic
sounds of the SD-80. These are referred to as “capital sounds.”
By changing the MIDI bank number of these sounds, you can select variations that have a different tonal
character. These are called “variation sounds.” For details on the various sounds that can be selected,
refer to "Instrument list (GM2 / Native mode)" (p. 95).
