Changing the sound set settings

You can freely change the settings of a sound set that you have 
selected. Here, we will try making changes to the content of a 
sound set so that it matches the settings you like.

Tip: 

The changes you have made will revert to their default 

state once you turn off the power. To keep your settings intact, 
save them in a set list (page 16).
