Random Patch Generator
The RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR is ac-
cessed by pressing the RANDOM button. The
results of randomization are sent directly to the
edit buffer so they can be listened to immedi-
ately. RANDOM can be used repeatedly to
cause even more random changes to the
sound. If you are happy with the results, you
should store the sound in one of the SINGLE
programs (Banks A or B).
If you want to start from the original sound
again, you should go back into Play mode and
select the sound again (e.g. by changing to an-
other sound then back again).
UNDO can be very useful here, as it cancels the
effect of the last randomization. REDO also
works here (press the Undo button again) – it
restores the sound to the last randomized ver-
sion i.e. the sound is returned to how it was im-
mediately before using the Undo function.
PAR DEPTH
This parameter determines the number of
sound parameters that are influenced by the
RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR. If you enter a
low value for PAR DEPTH, just a few parame-
ters will be modified. Beyond that, the manner
in which the few parameters are edited assures
that the sound is manipulated “organically”.
This simply means that it isn’t bent radically so
that, for example, the given sound can still be
played “tonally”.
As you increase the values for PAR DEPTH, oth-
er parameters that have a greater impact on the
timbre of the sound are changed. At higher val-
ues, the RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR tends
to generate noise-like sounds or special effects.

AMOUNT
This parameter determines the intensity of the
RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR’s effect on the
sound parameters. At lower values, sound
changes are fairly subtle, but you can intensify
the effect by repeatedly pressing the STORE
button. Higher values introduce fundamental
changes to the sound.

Be aware that RANDOM PAR DEPTH and
RANDOM AMOUNT are not actual sound pa-
rameters. They merely set the parameters for
the RANDOM PATCH GENERATOR and only
take effect when the RANDOM PATCH GENER-
ATOR is activated. Not until then will the sound
be changed.
