In an update I'll make it so that 'Tone Number' is actually showing you the names of the Tones instead of just the number. internal), and Tone Number is the number of the tone used. Tone Group picks which bank you're choosing from (presets vs.

So, in the Timbres tab, all you're really doing is specifying, for each Timbre, which saved Tone should be used. Timbre 1 is played on MIDI Channel 1, Timbre 2 on channel 2, etc. In Multi-Timbral mode, you have 8 different loaded 'Timbres' you can play. These synths are just a very different structure from pretty much all others, and I've had a hard time designing around it. This is something I plan on adding, and I'm sorry it's not there yet. It needs a 'Timbre Bank' tab added that will allow for that.

Patch Base doesn't support saving Timbres yet. E.g., try selecting a Timbre on the synth itself, then doing a 'Fetch' in the Timbres tab, and you'll see that the Timbre data changes in the editor. What you're doing is essentially updating the Timbre data for your selected Timbre (which you can also see in the Timbres tab). On the synth, when you select A or B and hit a number, you're recalling a saved Timbre, which in turn loads a Tone. But for Timbres, that A and B bank are the ones you can saveВ to, whereas for Tones, A and B are the presets. So the first major point of confusion (for me at first, and others) is that there's an A and B bank of Timbres, and also Tones. When you select a Timbre on the synth, those 128 are broken up into A and B banks.

The D-20 also has 128 Timbres that can be stored. So, when you go to the 'Tone Bank' tab, you're fetching or sending the 64 tones in the Internal Tone Bank, since A and B can't be changed. The Internal bank is the only one you can write to. The D-20 has 3 banks of Tones: A, B, and Internal (or 'Int'). A TimbreВ is just a little bit of info that selects which saved Tone (from the synth's memory) should be played, changes the tuning if you want, and turns Reverb on or off. In the patch editors of Patch Base for the D-20, you're editing Tones (selecting the sample, changing the Filter, Amp, etc). Performance mode works a little differently, and doesn't exactly apply to what I outline here.ДЇirst off, the differenceВ between a ToneВ and a Timbre:В A ToneВ is where the real meat of a sound is set up. The editor works in the D-20's Multi-TimbralВ mode. Roland D-20 Editor Help Outline of the D-20 Structure and Editors
