Playing sounds
The SH-201 lets you save the sounds you create.
Sounds you create are called “patches.” You can use the panel buttons to select the patch you want to play.
Patches are organized into two groups; the
preset group
and the
user group
.
Each of these is further organized into four
bank
s, each containing eight
number
s, for a total of 32 patches.
Preset group (PRESET)
These are 32 patches that are built into the SH-201.
You can’t rewrite the contents of these patches, but you can use them as a starting point when creating your own
new patches.
User group (USER)
These are 32 patches that you create and save.
For details on how to save your patches, refer to
Saving a sound you create (WRITE)
(p. 48).
Banks
The banks provide a convenient way to organize the 32 patches.
For example you might use bank A to hold the patches you use in the first song of your performance, and bank
B to hold the patches for the second song. Alternatively, you could put your synth bass patches in bank A and
your lead patches in bank B.
For details on how to select patches, refer to
Selecting a sound to play (GROUP/BANK/NUMBER)
(p. 16).
