How to select Sounds and Styles using the [PAGE] buttons
The Touch Keyboard
On electronic keyboards the standard term for drums is
drumkit, and each note of the keyboard is assigned to a dif-
ferent percussive sound. The CD20/30 has 8 drumkits, and
each Style calls up the most suitable drumkit for its Drum
part.
Along with all the traditional percussion sounds, the CD20/30
drumkits also contain “special” sounds, called samples.
The 13 large DRUMS & SAMPLES PADS buttons are called
pads, and play percussive sounds or samples.
The pads play sounds which are in the drumkit of the Drum
instrument part, or sounds from the drumkit assigned as
Sound to the Upper instrument part.
3. Scroll backwards and forwards through the Sound list us-
ing [PAGE<] or [PAGE>].
Style selection
1. If the Style name is not flashing on the display then press
[STYLE/SONG] to make it do so.
2. Scroll backwards and forwards through the Style list us-
ing [PAGE<] or [PAGE>].
The CD20/30 has two sound banks which can be assigned
to the Upper and Lower parts. The sounds contained in the
first bank are printed on the control panel. A list of the sounds
in the second bank can be found in the appendix of this
manual.
The first and second banks contain different versions of the
same sound. For example, if in the first bank sound 00 is
GrandPiano, then sound 00 will be a piano sound in the sec-
ond bank too.
The second sound bank is compatible with General MIDI
standard sounds (see the chapter on “Midi”). The first bank
however, substitutes the “Percussion” family with the “Drums”
family, so that the drumkits can also be played by hand on
the keyboard, assigning them to the Upper and Lower parts,
as if they were normal Sounds.
Selecting a sound bank
1. Make sure that the Sound name is flashing on the display.
If it is not, then press [SOUNDS] to make it do so.
2. Press the two [BANK 1/2] buttons together on the keypad.
3. The display will show the name of the bank you have se-
lected (“Sound Bank 1” or “Sound Bank 2”):
4. After you have selected the bank, select the sound re-
quired. The sound bank selected will remain active until
the other bank is chosen (followed by a sound selection).
