Basic Editing; Assigning A Sound To A Pad - Roland HandSonic 10 Owner's Manual

Basic Editing

In order to understand the possibilities of the various editing functions, there are a few basic points you must
take into consideration. These will help save you time, and avoid frustration whether this is your first
electronic musical instrument or not. Any changes you make are automatically registered as there is no
"write" function. Taking that into consideration, we recommend that you explore the editing process first by
using one of the 5 preset kits shown here. The reason we suggest this is because these kits are pre-set. You
can edit them temporarily, but once you change the kit, they automatically return to their factory settings.
