Modifying the Sound
Quick Start
Easy Sound Editing
In the following, you will learn how to create a sound using the basic functions of the
SH-32.
When creating a sound, play sounds using the Preview function (p. 21), or using a
MIDI keyboard.
To present a generalized view of what you need to do to edit sounds, this Quick Start
Manual introduces the operation while using Preset Patch “D88.” So, before you
begin, be sure to select Preset Patch “D88” (p. 23).
First, you need to select a waveform for the sound source.
1. Selecting a Waveform (Oscillator)
Here you create the waveforms for the sound source of the synthesizer.
The SH-32 provides 2 oscillators, which can be used independently or mixed.

Press [OSC 1] or [OSC 2] to select the oscillator you want to work
with.
The button you’ve pressed blinks, indicating that it is ready to be manipulated.
When the button is illuminated, it indicates that the oscillator is turned on (when
turned off, the button is extinguished).

When you select a preset
sound (p. 23), the position of
the sliders and knobs may not
always correspond to the
parameters (i.e., the sliders and
knobs do not match the
sound). However, if you press
[MANUAL] (lighting it), the
currently selected parameter
will be set to the values
indicated by the sliders and
knobs. For details, see
“Creating Sounds that
Reflect the Position of
Sliders/Knobs (MANUAL)”
(p. 52).
See “Determining the Basic
Waveform and Pitch (OSC 1
& 2)” (p. 52) for details on the
oscillator.

The oscillator control panel
controls both OSC 1 and OSC
2. When you select OSC 2 after
setting OSC 1, the values of
settings may not match the
positions of the panel controls.
This happens because, even
after you select the other OSC,
the panel controls remain at
the same positions. Be careful
with the position of controls
when you are operating with
OSC 1 and OSC 2 at different
settings.
