Variation

The
GS
Sound
Generator
comes
with
a
varied collection
ot
Preset
Tones.
Its
sound
palette
includes
a
variety of
acoustic instruments
(such
as
pianos
and
guitars),
as
well as
many
synthesized
and
special
eiiects
sounds.
An
important
part
of
this
collec-
tion
are the
128
"Capital
Tones."
I
he
Capital
Tones
are
divided
into
16
Tone
Groups, such
as
piano,
organ
and
guitar.
Within each
Tone Group
you
will
find
a
selection of related
Tones,
numbered
from
1
—
8.
For
example,
the
Piano
Tone Group
contains the
Tones:
Piano,
Electric
Piano,
and
Harpsichord.
All of
the
Tones
in
the
white block
(16
x
8
=
1
28) are Capital
Tones.
The
other
Tones
in a
Tone Group
(other
than
the Capital
Tones)
are
known
as "Variation
Tones."
The
Variation
Tones
have
essentially
the
same
character
as
the Capital Tones,
but
offer a different
nuance.
The
relationship
between
Capital
Tones and
Variation
Tones
is
as
shown
left.
Note
that
while
some
Tones
may
have
a
number
of Variations, others
will
have
none
at
all.
The
white
block
shows
the Capital
Tones, while those
above them
(indicated
by
the gray block) are the Variation
Tones.
