Creating a Patch
With the V-Synth XT, you have total control over a wide variety of
settings. Each item that can be set is known as a
settings. Each item that can be set is known as a
parameter
. When
you change the values of parameters, you are doing what is referred
to as
to as
Editing
. This chapter explains the procedures used in creating
patches, and the functions of the patch parameters.
How to Make the Patch Settings
Start with an existing patch and edit it to create a new patch. The
sound of a patch is created by six sections of parameters (p. 43).
When editing a patch, you need to be aware of how each section
affects the overall sound.

Access the PATCH PLAY screen, and select the patch

The parameters are organized into several editing groups.
Touch one of the buttons at the bottom of the screen to
select the edit group containing the parameters you want to
set.
In the PATCH PLAY screen, you can touch the display area for
each section to jump to the setting screen for that section.

3.
Touch one of the tabs in the left of the screen to select the
desired editing screen.
4.
In each editing screen, touch the touch screen to set the
parameters.
5.
When editing a parameter that requires you to specify a
value, move the cursor to the value box of that parameter.
Then modify the value by either turning the VALUE dial or
pressing [INC] or [DEC]. You can also modify a value by
dragging over the touch screen.
6.
Repeat steps 2–5 to complete a patch.
7.
If you wish to save the changes you’ve made, perform the
press [EXIT] to return to the PATCH PLAY screen.
If you return to the PATCH PLAY screen without saving, the
display will indicate “EDITED,” reminding you that the patch
settings have been modified.

If you turn off the power or select a different patch while the
display indicates “EDITED,” your edited patch will be lost.

Five Tips for Editing Patches
● Use the Sound Shaper function (p. 77)
The Sound Shaper function makes it easy to design sounds
intuitively. Simply choose the appropriate group and template
for the type of sound you want to create, and turn the knobs to
edit the relevant parameters just like a professional sound
designer.

● Select a patch that is similar to the sound you wish to
create.
It’s hard to create a new sound that’s exactly what you want if
you just select a patch and modify its parameters at random. It
makes sense to start with a patch whose sound is related to
what you have in mind.

● Check the Structure setting.
The structure type is an important parameter which determines
how the six sections are combined. Before you actually begin
editing, you should understand how the sections are related to
each other (p. 43).

● Decide which section(s) you will use.
When creating a patch, it is very important to decide which
section(s) you will use. In the Edit screen of each section, use the
on/off switch to specify whether that section will be used (on)
or not used (off).

● Turn Effects off.
Since the V-Synth XT effects have such a profound impact on its
sounds, turn them off to listen to the sound itself so you can
better evaluate the changes you’re making. Since you will hear
the original sound of the patch itself when the effects are turned
off, the results of your modifications will be easier to hear.
Actually, sometimes just changing effects settings can give you
the sound you want.
