Technics sx-PR604/M Manuel D’Utilisation

Outline of the Sound Edit

SOUND EDIT enables you to create your own new sound by altering one of the this instrument’s preset sounds. Your new sound
can be stored in one of the sound memory locations. SOUND EDIT has two methods of use. You can edit in detail using functions
more commonly associated with a synthesizer, or you can use EASY EDIT which allows you to change some basic parameters
on one page.

1.

Select a sound to edit.

2.

Turn on the PROGRAM MENUS button.

• The display looks similar to the following.

3.

Select SOUND EDIT.

• The display looks similar to the following.

4.

Select the desired menu and follow the pro-
cedures on the corresponding setting display.

• To check the sound of a single tone, press the SOLO

button to highlight the SOLO indication. Only the currently
selected tone sounds when a key is played.

• When the TEMPO/PROGRAM indicator is lit, it indicates

that the TEMPO/PROGRAM is available for setting the
current function.

5.

When the sound is just the way you like it, on
the SOUND EDIT MENU display press the
WRITE button to store your new sound.

• Press the EDITED (or ORIGINAL) button to switch be-

tween the modified sound (EDITED) and the original
sound (ORIGINAL). This allows you to compare the edited
sound to the original sound as you are modifying it.

• When DRUM KIT sounds are selected and the SOUND

EDIT is activated, the setting display looks different from
that for other sounds, but the basic operation is the same.
(To specify the percussion instrument you wish to edit,
use the 

∧

corresponding sound, press the NOTE SELECT button.)

• To record the DIGITAL DRAWBAR settings, first adjust

the settings, then enter the SOUND EDIT mode, press
the WRITE button and follow the procedure on the display.
