Creating a Patch

. This chapter explains the procedures used in creating
patches, and the functions of the patch parameters.

How to Make Patch Settings
Four Tips for Editing Patches
Select a patch that is similar to the sound you wish to
create
(p. 30)
It’s hard to create a new sound that’s exactly what you
want if you just select a patch and modify its parameters at
random. It makes sense to start with a patch whose sound
is related to what you have in mind.
Decide which tones will sound (p. 33)
Since a patch is a combination of up to any four tones, you
should listen to how the individual tones sound before you
edit. Then decide which tones you are going to use. It is
important to turn off unused tones to avoid wasting voices,
unnecessarily reducing the number of simultaneous notes
you can play.
Check the Structure setting (p. 38)
The important Structure parameter determines how the
four tones combine. Before you select new tones, make
sure you understand how the currently selected tones are
affecting each other.
Turn Effects off (p. 157)
Since you will hear the original sound of the patch itself
when the effects are turned off, the results of your
modifications will be easier to hear. Actually, sometimes
just changing effects settings can give you the sound you
want.
