More about the Super Tones

The SUPER TONES buttons are intended to help you
select a Tone for the Upper1 (or UP1) part without
bothering to use the [Tones] field on the Master page
or the BANK/NUMBER buttons. They cannot be used
for the other parts.

Whenever you press a SUPER TONES button, a page
similar to the following appears:

The white field indicates the Tone that is currently
assigned to the SUPER TONES button you pressed. By
pressing another field, you can override this setting.
But that is only temporary and cannot be written to a
User Program.

You can, however, select another option by pressing
the appropriate field and then press the [Customize]
field. The display then responds with:

You can repeat this for the remaining SUPER TONES
buttons.

As you see, there are 8 possibilities for each SUPER
TONES button, for a total of 40 Tones selected by the
Roland engineers. Here’s a list that may come in handy
for almost instant location of the desired Tone for the
Upper1 part:

This is the Factory set with fixed options for all five
SUPER TONES buttons. Although you are free to
select another option for a button, you cannot change
the options themselves. There are eight possibilities
per SUPER TONES button, and that’s it.

There is, however, a User set with five additional
SUPER TONES memories. At first, the assignments to
these buttons is as shown in the illustration below.
Here is how to access the User set:

1. Press and hold any SUPER TONES button.
The display now looks as follows:

You can also select this page by pressing the [FUNC-
TION MENU] button followed by the [Super Tones]
field on the Function Menu.

2. Press the [USER] field so that it is displayed in
white.

3. Press [EXIT] to return to the Master page.

4. Use the SUPER TONES buttons for selecting one of
the five User assignments.
