Introduction

Units of Sound

TONE
A "tone" is the smallest unit of sound on this unit.
A tone consists of the combination of sound engine and effects
(MFX+EQ).
Use the tone category buttons [1]–[16] to select tones by their
category.

Sound Engine Sound Engine
MFX EQ MFX
You can edit a tone and then save it as a user tone.
Some tones are "drum kits" which provide a collection of percussion
instrument sounds.
In a drum kit, different percussion instrument sounds are heard
depending on the key (note number) that you play.
ZONE
This is a container for playing a tone.
To play a tone, you assign it to a zone. For each zone, you can
specify whether it is connected to the keyboard, and make settings
such as its key range, volume, pan, and controller reception.
There are 16 zones; by combining zones you can create sounds
that consist of multiple tones, or create foundational performance
(sound) settings for each song.
You can also use specific zones to control an external sound module
(EXT ZONE) instead of the internal sound engine.

SCENE
A scene contains a favorite performing state, including settings for
each zone (tone, MFX, volume, etc.), settings common to all zones
(Reverb, Chorus, IFX, etc.), and sequence data for each zone.
You can store an idea for a song or phrase as a scene, and manage
scenes by switching them for each song.
You can freely recall saved scenes in the SCENE SELECT screen that
appears after startup.
By using the SCENE CHAIN function you can place and recall scenes
in the order of the songs that you'll be playing live, or collect
frequently-used scenes for easy recall (p. 17).
