PLAYING
PATCHES
What
is
the Patch Play
mode?
In the
Patch Play
mode,
a single
Patch
is
called
up
to
the
temporary area
from
where
it
can be played.
A
Patch
consists of
a
maximum
of four
Tones,
and the
parameters of
each
Tone
are controlled
by
Parameter
Sliders 1
—4
or the
iTONE SWITCHI
buUons
(1
—4).
However, since the data
which
is
called
up
to the
temporary area
is
used
when
a
Performance
is
selected,
the original
Patch
in
the internal
memory
or
DATA
card will
be
retained.
The
data
being used
in
the
temporary area
can be stored as a
new Performance
in
the
user
memory. (See
Command
Section,
Write
Mode)
Since the
Patch Play
mode
allows
you
to
control
each
Tone of the
Patch
and
fully utilize
the
expressive capabilities
of
one sound
program,
it
adds a
new
dirnension
to
the playing of lead
lines
and
lets
you
create
sounds
that
were previously not possible.
