COMBINATION

Up

to

four

tones

can

be

combined

easily

with

the

COMBINATION

function.

Before

explaining

how

this

works,

we

shall

take

a

look

at

some

basic

examples

of

combining

tones.

The

principle

methods

are

as

follows:

(1)

SPLIT

SPLIT

literally

splits

the

keyboard

up

into

sound

zones,

so

that

different

tones

can

be

played

depending

on

the

zone.

E

BASS

Look

over

the

Form

list

on

page

8.

You

will

see

that

Form

9

is

a

2-zone

split,

while

Forms

21

and

22

are

4~zone

splits.

(2)

DUAL

DUAL

layers

one

tone

onto

another

one,

across

the

whole

keyboard.

By

making

the

pitch

of

these

tones

slightly

different

and

playing

them

together,

you

can

thicken

the

sound.

PIANO

———

STRINGS

Forms

1

through

8

are

FUAL

forms

which

assign

two

tones

to

the

whole

keyboard.

The

form

list

describes

how

each

of

these

DUAL

forms

differ.

(3)

LAYER

This

is

the

same

kind

of

combination

as

DUAL,

but

is

called

LAYER

when

three

or

more

tones

are

used.

E.

PIANO

STRINGS

BRASS

the

functions

of

SPLIT

and

Forms

11

and

15-18

are

mix

forms.

BASS

SAX

STRINGS

By

using

the

above

combinations

you

can

create

new

sounds

and

surprising

effects

that

are

impossible

to

obtain

with

single

tones.

The

PH50’s

combinations

have

been

preset

so

that

anyone

can

enjoy

combining

sounds

effortlessly.

Selected

to

give

you

optimum

flexibility

for

casual

playing

or

live

performance,

these

30

preset

combinations

require

only

that

you

choose

the

tones.

These

predetermined

groupings

of

zones

are

called

FORMS.

You

can

assign

from

two

to

four

tones

to

a

FORM

(the

number

of

assignable

tones

varies

depending

on

the

FORM).

The

location

on

the

keyboard

where

the

respective

tones

can

be

assigned

are

called

PARTs.

In

addition

to

the

zones,

the

FORM

enables

different

values

of

DETUNE

and

TRANSPOSE

to

be

set

for

each

PART.

(See

the

list.}

You

can

you

COMBINATION

If

200

tones

are

not

enough

for

you,

the

PH50

provides

the

COMBINATION

function,

with

which

you

can

select

up

to

four

tones

from

the

200

and

assign

these

in

various

combined

patterns

(called

FORMs)

that

go

far

beyond

conventional

DUAL

or

SPLIT

functions.

You

will

have

countless

sound

at
