Patches are the basic sound configurations that you play<br />

during a performance. Each patch can be configured by<br />

combining up to four tones. How the four tones are<br />

combined is determined by the Structure Type parameter (p.<br />

101).<br />

Rhythm Sets<br />

fig.04-004.e<br />

Rhythm sets are groups of a number of different percussion<br />

instrument sounds. Since percussion instruments generally<br />

do not play melodies, there is no need for a percussion<br />

instrument sound to be able to play a scale on the keyboard.<br />

It is, however, more important that as many percussion<br />

instruments as possible be available to you at the same time.<br />

Therefore, each key (note number) of a rhythm set will<br />

produce a different percussion instrument.<br />

Each percussion instrument consists of the following four<br />

elements. (For details, refer to the explanations for “Tones.”)<br />

TVF (Time Variant Filter)<br />

TVA (Time Variant Amplifier)<br />
