Selecting a sound
If the part type is Inst, use the following procedure to select a sound. First make sure that the part type is
Inst. For details on how to set the part type to Inst, refer to
"Selecting the type of part (INST/DRUM)"
On the SD-80, the sound of an Inst part is specified by two numbers: an
Instrument number
and a
Variation number
. There are 128 sounds whose
variation number
is 000, and these make up the basic
sounds of the SD-80. These are referred to as “
capital sounds
.”
By changing the MIDI bank number of these sounds, you can select variations that have a different tonal
character. These are called “
variation sounds
.” For details on the various sounds that can be selected,
refer to
