Yep, that’s another incredibly useful function that Roland dropped. Quick, one button remapping the sounds of an entire style to a selection of sounds appropriate for different genres, acoustic, electronic, ethnic etc..

A little bit hit or miss at times (it depended on whether the original style used pretty basic normal sounds) but incredibly useful if you wanted to take the edge off a rock or electronica style to play in a quieter setting by instantly changing to brushes and upright bass, jazz guitars etc.

You CAN still do the same thing yourself one sound at a time with the normal Makeup Tools, but the instant nature of the Cover Tools encouraged trying it out. There’s a lot to be said for instant gratification!

How Roland lost so many amazing features every time they brought out a new arranger is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that their design team was entirely in the hands of people that didn’t play arrangers as their primary keyboard type… 😢🎹
