#Timbres
Timbres
are the basic miit of sound which you
will play.
128
different
Timbres can be
created.
Each Timbre
has
settings
which
determine the
level, pitch
and
vibrato of
the tone
and
parameters which
determine
how
the tone
will
be
affected
by
velocity, aftertouch,
and

#Sound
Patches
A
different tone can be assigned
to each
key
to
create
a
drum/percussion
set.
4
sets
can be
stored
in the U-20's
internal
memory.
One
part corresponds
to a single conventional sound
generator module. The
U-20 has 6
parts
and
a
rhythm
part.
Timbres
are assigned
to
parts
1—6,

a
rhythm
set
is
assigned
to the rhj^thm
part.
Volume and
pan can
be
adjusted and
an
effect
can be
selected for each
part.

Sound

is
a
collection of
part
settings

the instnmiental
ensemble. 64 Sound
