Selecting Variation sounds
Each of the three sound maps of this unit contains Capital sounds (basic sounds) and
Variation sounds (sounds with different nuances). The procedure explained on the pre-
vious page selects Capital sounds (128 sounds; Instrument list, p.154). Here's how
to select Variation sounds.
1. Make sure that the [ALL] indicator is dark.
If it is lit, press the [ALL] button to turn it off.
2. Use the PART [ll
ll
] [rr
rr
] buttons to select the Part for which you want to
choose a Variation sound.
3. Simultaneously press both INSTRUMENT [ll
ll
] [rr
rr
] buttons to enter
Variation select mode.
The Variation number and a / symbol will be displayed in front of the Instrument
name.
4. Press INSTRUMENT [ll
ll
] or [rr
rr
] to change the Variation number.
5. To exit Variation select mode, simultaneously press both the INSTRU-
MENT [ll
ll
] [rr
rr
] buttons. You will return to normal mode (the Instrument
number is displayed).
In this condition, pressing INSTRUMENT [l] or [r] will change the instrument number.
* Some Variation numbers are not consecutive.
* If the Part is set to a Drum Part (p.18, 27), the Variation number will not change. This is because
Drum Sets do not have Variations.
* Sounds compatible with the CM-64 are Variation sounds in the SC-55 map. Original sounds you
create (p.96) are Variation sounds in the Native map and SC-88 map.
* If the indicator of EFX is dark, you can also use EFX PARAM[
l
][
r
] to select the Instrument
sound, and EFX VALUE[
l
][
r
] to select the Variation sound.
