5.
Press the [A] or [B] field to select the desired Tone
group.
6.
Press one of the following fields to select a bank
within that group:
7.
Press a Tone field to select a Tone (number).
Again, the VA-76 may actually load another Tone than
the one you selected. We believe that Tone is even bet-
ter than the one you set out to recall. If you disagree,
see “Choosing your own Tone favorites (Customize
Preferred Tone)” for how to change that particular
“favorite” Tone.
If the Tone name is followed by a number in angled
brackets < >, a Variation Tone has been selected. If
there are no angled brackets, the Capital has been
selected.
8.
Press the [Variations] field to call up the following
display page:
The field of the currently selected Variation is high-
lighted.
There are 28 Variations for the A31 Tone (watch the
numbers inside the selection fields).
a)
Press another Variation field on this page to select
that Variation.
b)
If none of the Variations on offer corresponds to
what you have in mind, press the upward arrow ( )
to select the page that contains Variations 1~9 (if that
is possible).
You will have guessed that the downward arrow ( )
usually allows you to select the next page – unless it is
grayed out, as is the case here.
c)
To use the “main” Tone (Capital), press the Varia-
tion field on the first page that has no small number
(the topmost field in the left column on the first Varia-
tion page). The angled brackets < > next to the Tone
address disappear.
Note: Just for your reference: the term “Variation” refers to
Tones here, and has nothing to do with the [VARIATION]
button on the front panel, or the Music Style pattern of the
same name.
9.
Press the [oBack] field to select another Tone (if
none of the Variations fits the bill).
10.
Press the [EXIT] field to return to the Master
page.
Choosing your own Tone favorites
(Customize Preferred Tone)
As stated earlier, selecting a Tone via the display or the
BANK/NUMBER buttons very often means that the
VA-76 uses an even better sound than the one you
requested— or so the Roland engineers think.
You may not agree with the automatic substitutions
and grow weary of always having to select correct Vari-
ation you do actually mean when you select the
address in question (group, bank number).
Here is how to substitute your “favorites” for Roland’s
preselections. Note that this can be programmed for
all 128 Tone addresses (A11~A88, B11~B88). Here, we
shall only show you how to do it for one Tone.
Note: These selections are stored automatically. So be sure
to either select the Variation you do actually like as favorite,
or change the setting back to the previous version before
continuing.
1.
See “Tone selection via the front panel” on page 37
and “Tone selection via the display” on page 39 for
how to select the desired Tone.
For this example, select Tone A31, so that the display
looks as follows:
The Organ 1 Tone is automatically selected. Suppose
you prefer Variation <8> Trem Organ and want that to
be selected when you enter the “A31” address.
2.
Press the [Variations] field to call up the following
display page:
(Press the [m] field to select the page with Variations
10~19 or 20~28.)
3.
Press the [8 Trem Organ] field to select that Varia-
tion.
Use these fields to select a Tone Bank:
