Playing and editing Combinations

A suggested approach for editing

First select the program that each timbre will use, and set
each timbre's MIDI channel to Gch (global MIDI channel)
and its Status to INT so that it can be played from the
keyboard.
Next, create any desired keyboard or velocity switch, layers,
or crossfades between the different Timbres.
After this, adjust the volumes of the Timbres, and set up any
other Timbre parameters as desired.
To add finishing touches to the sound, set up the Insert, and
Master Effect as desired. These effects can be different from
those associated with the individual Programs in Program
mode, if desired.
In addition, you can make arpeggiator and drum track
settings and controller settings to create the finished
Combination.
Note: You can use a function to copy effect and arpeggiator
settings from a program. (see page 96 of the Parameter
Guide)
Soloing a timbre
You can use the COMBI> PROG page Solo Setting function
to hear the sound of an individual timbre. (see page 32)
Comparing with the sound before
you started editing
Using COMPARE
When you're in the process of editing a sound, pressing the
COMPARE button will recall the saved version of the sound,
as it was before you started editing.
For details, please see "Compare/Undo function" on
page 13.
Changing the program of each
timbre
Changing the Programs that are assigned to timbres (1–16) is
a quick way to dramatically alter the sound of the
Combination.
1. Access the COMBI> PROG page.
Press the PAGE+ or PAGE- button to select the page.
Category/combination select
Timbre number
Category/timbre program select
Active timbre

STEP(Step sequencer on/off )
SMP(Pad sampler on/off )
3. Use the cursor buttons ◄► to select the timbre whose
program you want to switch.
4. Turn the CATEGORY dial to select a category.
5. Turn the VALUE dial.
6. Press the MENU (OK) button or the ENTER button
to confirm your choice.
You can also switch programs by receiving MIDI
program changes from a connected external MIDI
device. (see page 314 of the Parameter Guide)
To select the timbre program via MIDI program change
the timbre's status must be set to "INT."

Adjusting the mix

Adjusting the volume of each timbre
1. Access the COMBI> MIXER page.
Press the PAGE+ or PAGE– button to select the page.
In this page you can view and edit the pan and volume of
timbres 1–16.
2. Press the cursor button ▼ to choose Volume (it will be
highlighted).
3. Use the cursor buttons ◄► to select the timbre whose
volume you want to adjust
4. Use the VALUE dial etc. to adjust the setting.
Note: If you check Hold Balance function, moving any one
of the volume sliders (volume values) will cause the volume
of the other timbres to change as well, maintaining the
relative volume balance between timbres 1–16. This is a
convenient way to adjust the overall volume.
Adjusting the panning of each timbre
1. Access the COMBI> MIXER page.
2. Use the cursor buttons ▲▼ to choose Pan (it will be
highlighted).
3. Use the cursor buttons ◄► to select the timbre whose
pan you want to adjust
4. Use the VALUE dial etc. to adjust the setting.
Note: Timbre pan interacts with the pan stored in the
Program. A setting of C064 reproduces the Program's
oscillator pan settings. Adjusting the Timbre Pan will move
the sound to left or right while preserving the pan
relationship between the oscillators. A setting of L001 is far
left, and R127 is far right.
