Making a User Sound

There are two steps to making a User Sound: Editing the effect settings - as described in the previous section -
and editing the sound's character. You can adjust seven parameters of the sound character: Vibrato Depth, Vibrato
Delay, Brightness, Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release.
Vibrato Depth controls the depth of the Vibrato effect. Positive values produce a deeper Vibrato. Negative values
produce a shallower Vibrato. The actual speed of the vibrato is preset for each sound.
Vibrato Delay determines how soon the vibrato effect will start after you press a key. Positive values produce a
longer delay time before the vibrato effect starts. Negative values produce a shorter delay time before the vibrato
effect starts. When this parameter is set to 0 the vibrato effect starts as soon as you press a key.
Brightness controls the Strength of the high frequencies. Higher values produce a brighter sound, lower values
produce a darker sound.
Attack determines how quickly a sound reaches its maximum volume after you press a key. Positive values
produce a slower attack that is more gradual and smooth, while negative values produce a faster attack that is
more percussive in nature.

Decay determines how quickly the volume of the sound decreases after it reaches it maximum volume while the
key is still held down. Positive values produce a slower decay, while negative values produce a faster decay.
Sustain determines the volume level of the sound after the decay portion of the sound is complete. Positive values
produce a louder volume, while negative values produce a softer volume.
Release determines how long it takes for the sound to fade away to silence after you release the key. Positive
values produce a slower fade, while negative values produce a faster fade.
Note:
To make a User Sound:
Step 1
Select the sound you want to edit, then touch the SOUND EDIT button.
The LCD screen will display the Sound Edit Menu.
Step 2
In the Sound Edit menu, select Make User Sound.
The User Sound Settings screen will be displayed.
Step 3
You can edit the settings for Vibrato, Delay Vibrato time, Brightness, Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release.
Touching the SAVE button will save all changes made in the Preset Effect Settings menu. If you exit the Preset Effect
Settings menu without saving your changes, the settings will remain unchanged.
For some sounds, changing the values for these parameters may have no effect. Each sound has a pre-programmed
setting for each of these parameters. When you change the values you are increasing or decreasing the value from the
pre-programmed setting. If the setting for a certain sound parameter is 0 for example, then changing the value will have
no effect.
