Chapter 2. Creating Your Own Sounds
Creating Sounds that Reflect
the Position of Sliders/Knobs
(MANUAL)
In Manual mode, you edit parameter values by setting them to the
current position of the sliders and knobs.
When you edit a Patch to change the sound, the various parameter
values will not necessarily match the positions of the sliders or
knobs. When working in Manual mode, the sound reflects the slider
and knob positions, which is useful when you want to create sounds
from scratch.
Press [MANUAL], causing the indicator to light up; of the
parameters for the currently selected Patch, those that are
represented on the panel will assume the actual settings, as
determined by the positions of sliders and knobs.
• This operation deletes any current settings in the temporary area
(p. 47). If you want to keep the settings, save them to a Patch (p.
63).
• Parameter settings not represented on the panel will not change
even when you press [MANUAL]. With OSC 1 and OSC 2, for
example, the settings for the oscillator not currently being edited
(where the indicator is not blinking) are not operational in
Manual mode. In this case, when you call up the parameters to
the panel display, the [MANUAL] indicator light then goes out.
If necessary, you then can return the Manual mode by pressing
[MANUAL] again.
Parameters Not Shown in the Panel
Display
• Settings for the oscillator (either OSC 1 or OSC 2) not currently
being edited
• Settings for the LFO (either LFO 1 or LFO 2) not currently being
edited
• Parameters for the currently selected [DEPTH] setting other than
those selected with [DESTINATION]
Using Preview Function Hold
to Continue Playing a Sound
By having the Preview function hold, you can have sounds continue
to play, even without having to hold down the SH-32’s note-entry
buttons. This is very a convenient feature, as it allows you to keep
both hands free to adjust sliders and knobs while monitoring how a
sound changes when, for example, you are editing sounds.
1. Press [PREVIEW] to make the indicator light.
Indicators are lit for buttons that may be used as the note-entry
buttons.

2. Press [HOLD] to make the indicator light.
3. Press the button for the key that you want to play.
The pressed button’s indicator blinks, and the sound continues
to play after you release the button.
4. Press the same button once more to stop the sound.
Determining the Basic
Waveform and Pitch
(OSC 1 & 2)
fig.02-02
With the OSC 1 & 2 (Oscillator 1 & 2) section, select the waveform
upon which the sound is based, then adjust the pitch and other
aspects of the sound. You can also combine OSC 1 and OSC 2 to
create a wide variety of sounds.
Oscillator ON/OFF and Mix Balance
(OSC 1, OSC 2, BALANCE)
[OSC 1]/[OSC 2]
These switch the oscillators on and off. Press the button; the selected
oscillator is on when the indicator is lit or blinking, and off when the
indicator light is off. When both OSC 1 and OSC 2 are on, the
oscillator with the blinking indicator is the one being edited. To turn
off the oscillator that is not being edited, press the blinking button.
Pressing [OSC 1] and [OSC 2] simultaneously causes both
indicators to blink, and both OSC 1 and OSC 2 become the edited
objects, thus allowing you to make identical settings to the two
oscillators at the same time.
Using Patches in which two oscillators are played reduces the
polyphony by half.
[BALANCE]
Adjusts the volume balance between OSC 1 and OSC 2. The OSC 1
volume increases as the slider is moved upwards; moving the slider
down increases the OSC 2 volume.
