Creating favorites

To create a new favorite, you must modify the two programs (in
single sound mode) originally saved, or modify the program with
layer/split sounds that uses two programs.
You can also edit the sound of the program you are using.

Note:
Since the edits you make to the program will be saved
as part of the favorite's settings, this will not affect
the original program. This means that when you edit a
program, this will not change the same program's sounds
that happen to be used in another favorite.
The "Release" edit parameter and the sound parameters
will be reset to their original settings when you select a
program again.

Changing the programs used

1. Use the FAVORITE buttons to select a favorite
(see page 9).
Note:
When selecting a favorite that was set by default,
select any bank from E and up.
2. Press either the KEYBOARDS button or the
ENSEMBLE button to make them light (on) or go
dark (off).
If only the KEYBOARDS button or the ENSEMBLE button
is lit, they cannot be turned off. Turn both of the sections on
and then turn off the section that you will not use.
3. Select the program using the category selection
knob and the VARIATION knob, in the section on
which the button is lit.
Any changes you make to a favorite will be lost and the favorite
will return to its previous saved state, if you select a different
favorite or turn off the power.
Be sure to write the favorite to memory in order to save any
changes you make. (Refer to "Saving a favorite that has been
changed" on page 13.)

Creating layered sounds

Two sounds can be stacked together to create a layered sound
(example: piano and strings).
Strings
1. Turn both the KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE section
buttons on, and select a program for each.
This will make a layered sound.
2. Use the LEVEL knobs for each section to adjust
the volume balance between both programs.
Tip:
When creating a layered sound with two programs from the
ENSEMBLE section, select the ENSEMBLE category for
the KEYBOARDS program. When creating a layered sound
with two programs from the KEYBOARDS section, select
the KEYBOARDS category for the ENSEMBLE program.

Creating split sounds

You can assign a different sound to the higher range of the
keyboard and the lower range of the keyboard to create a split
sound (for instance, piano and bass).
Bass
1. When in single sound mode, press the SPLIT
button.
The SPLIT button will light, and the KEYBOARDS and
ENSEMBLE buttons will both turn on (light up).
2. Select a program for each section.
The ENSEMBLE program will be assigned to the lower part
of the keyboard (lower note range), and the KEYBOARDS
program will be assigned to the upper part of the keyboard
(higher note range).
