Use the following procedure to create a Patch with one or more Tones assigned to the keyboard:

1. Load the desired Tone or Tones into the S-330/550's memory (as described previously).
2. Select "EDIT" from the MODE menu .
3. Highlight "MENU" and press the left mouse button.
4. Highlight "Split" and press the left mouse button. The Split page will be displayed.
5. Use the left/right mouse button to select "Normal" next to Key Mode (if necessary).

NOTE: There are five Key Modes to choose from: Normal, Unison, V-SW (Velocity Switch), X-Fade (Velocity Cross Fade), and V-MIX (Velocity Mix). Normal and Unison modes will only play the 1st Tone, even if the 2nd Tone is shown to be assigned.

6. Use the left/right mouse button to select the desired Tone next to 1st Tone. NOTE: Do not load Tones into Tone location I-11. Use Tone locations I-12 and higher.

7. Use the left/right mouse buttons to select "1st" next to Type Select (if necessary).
8. Use the mouse to highlight the key (on the onscreen keyboard in the lower half of the display) you wish to assign the sample to and press the left mouse button. A pair of hash marks will appear above the note indicating that a Tone has been assigned.

NOTE: You can also assign Tones with a MIDI keyboard that is connected to the S-330/550. Simply pressing the desired key on your MIDI keyboard will assign the selected Tone to that note.

9. Repeat steps 8-10 to continue assigning Tones as desired.
10. Use the left/right mouse button to select "Info" next to Type Select. Play your MIDI keyboard to hear the Tones that were assigned.
IV. Creating Sub Tones (S-330/550)

Sub Tones are used by the S-330/550 to conserve memory. A Sub Tone allows you to share the same sample data between two different Tones. You can edit sample information on a Sub Tone without affecting the original Tone. Since Sub Tones read the waveform data of an original Tone, the original waveform must be in memory along with the Sub Tone. Use the following procedure to create a Sub Tone:

1. Load the desired Tone(s) into the S-330/550's memory (as described previously).
2. Highlight "MODE" and press the left mouse button.
3. Highlight "EDIT" and press the left mouse button.
4. Highlight "MENU" and press the left mouse button.
5. Highlight "Tone PRM" and press the left mouse button.
6. Highlight the currently selected Tone location (upper left of the display, under MODE) and use the left/right mouse buttons to select a blank Tone location.
7. Highlight "---" next to Original Tone and use the left/right mouse buttons to select the Tone whose waveform data you would like to use. That Tone number will appear next to "Sub" in the display. You have now created a Sub Tone. You can edit and place the Sub Tone in any Patch as long as the original Tone is in the memory of the S-330/550.
