tor settings (
In 2.1: Ed–Basic–7.2: Ed–MasterFX; you can edit the 
parameters of the combination that was selected in 1.1: 
Play.
How a combination is organized
A combination consists of a variety of parameters that 
can be accessed in 2.1: Ed-Basic–7.2: Ed-MasterFX. The 
diagram below shows how a combination is struc-
tured.
Basic combination editing
Banks A, B, and C of the TR contain a variety of combi-
nations that use the preloaded programs (banks A, B, 
C) and the preset and preloaded user arpeggio patterns 
and effects. You can edit these combinations to create 
your own original combinations.
Original programs using samples/multisamples 
recorded in Sampling mode (if the separately sold 
EXB-SMPL option is installed) or loaded into memory 
in Media mode can also be used in a combination.
Combinations you edit or create can be written into the 
384 combination memory areas of banks A–C. They 
can also be saved and managed on SD card in Media 
mode (
If a program being edited in Program mode is 
used in a combination, it will sound according to 
the settings being edited.
If you wish to save an edited combination in inter-
nal memory, you must write it. (
Suggestions for editing procedure
The parameters of each timbre are set in 2.1: Ed-Prog/
Mix–4.4: MIDI Filter4, and 7.1:Ed-InsertFX. This is 
where you create the basic combination consisting of 
the programs you select here.
First use 2.1: Ed-Prog/Mix to select the program for 
each timbre, and then use 3.3: Ed-Key Zone and 3.4: 
Ed-Vel Zone to specify the range in which each pro-
gram will sound (layer, split, velocity switch, etc.). 
Then adjust the volume of each timbre, and set various 
other parameters.
To add finishing touches to the sound, you can make 
insert effect
 settings (in 7.1: Ed-InsertFX) and master 
effect
 and master EQ settings (in 7.2: Ed-MasterFX) 
that are separate from the effect settings of Program 
mode. In addition, you can make arpeggiator settings 
(in 6.1: Ed-Arp.) and controller settings (in 2.2: Ed-Ctrl) 
to create the finished combination.
By using the Utility “Solo Selected Timbre”, you 
can listen only to the selected timbre. This is a con-
venient way to audition individual sounds of tim-
bres that are layered. (
In pages that display all timbres 1–8, such as 2.1: 
Ed-Prog/Mix, you can use the [ ], [ ] keys to 
select timbres. You can also select timbres directly 
by holding down the [TIMBRE/TRACK] key and 
pressing one of the [F1 T1/T9]–[F8 T8/T16] keys.
