BUZZER SOUNDS Thank you all for playing 'Guess the spec' Marlene, tell our runners-up what they have won... (contestants walk dejectedly off stage to an SMF that might or might NOT have been played by Fran)

Roland's can have 16 (or more) sounds per style, as shown in the Style Makeup Tools mixer pages (there are two or more pages, depending on whether the style has more than eight sounds, of eight tracks each linked to the sliders). These adjustments are stored in the style itself.

BUT... there are eight PARTS per style, as linked to the sliders on the first Style fader part, and volume only adjustments to these are stored in the registration (so you can mute some Parts on some registrations, and let them play in others). There are also Solo and Mute buttons here, for easy Part, well you get it!

So... A Part can have two or more sounds, each with a Tone that can be edited differently. BUT, on a Part, they can't sound simultaneously. Eight is all that can sound simultaneously. The page after page of different sounds comes about from the fact that each Division of the style (Variations, Fills, Intros and Endings) can have different Tones for each Part.

So... BUZZER SOUNDS AGAIN

NOBODY won this weeks contest. Prizes roll around until next week's show!

Special 'booby prize' also goes out to Rolman, for confusing a style's Divisions (the Intros, Variations, etc.) with the Parts they play

Thanks for playing 'Guess the Spec'... See you next week!
