Operation
This chapter explains how to operate the unit from sound creation to playing.
For details on the categories, parameters and parameter values described in the operating procedures, see “Creating sounds and categories/
parameters” (page 12).
Choosing and playing a program
The TORAIZ AS-1 has ten banks ([F1]-[F5] and [U1]-[U5]) each of which
stores 99 programs. To recall the desired program, select a bank and a
program number in that order.
! The programs in the banks [F1]-[F5] are read-only and the programs
in the banks [U1]-[U5] are rewritable. Though you can edit any
program in any bank, you can only save a program to a user bank
[U1]-[U5].
(“F” represents “Factory bank” and “U” represents “User bank.”)
! When you purchase this product, the programs in the banks
[U1]-[U5] are identical to the programs in the banks [F1]-[F5].
