Creating a Rhythm Set
Cautions When Using a One-shot
Waveform
It is not possible to use the envelope to modify a one-shot waveform
to create a decay that is longer than the original waveform, or to turn
it into a sustaining sound. If you were to program such an envelope,
you would be attempting to shape a portion of the sound that simply
doesn’t exist, and the envelope would have no effect.
Cautions When Using a Loop
Waveform
With many acoustic instruments such as piano and sax, extreme
timbral changes occur during the first few moments of each note.
This initial attack is what defines much of the instrument’s character.
For such waveforms, it is best to use the complex tonal changes of
the attack portion of the waveform just as they are, and to use the
envelope only to modify the decay portion. If you attempt to use the
envelope to modify the attack portion as well, the characteristics of
the original waveform may prevent you from getting the sound that
you intend.

Saving Rhythm Sets You’ve
Created (Write)
Changes you make to sound settings are temporary, and will be lost
if you turn off the power or select another sound. If you want to keep
the modified sound, you must save it in the internal
USER group
(user memory)
When you modify the settings of a rhythm set, the PATCH PLAY
screen will indicate “EDITED.” Once you save the rhythm set into
internal memory (user memory), the “EDITED” indication goes
away.
When you perform the save procedure, the data that previously
occupied the save destination will be lost. However, the factory
setting data can be recovered by performing the Initialization
procedure (p. 69).
1. Make sure that the Rhythm Set you wish to save is selected.
2. Press [MENU].
The Menu window appears.
