Chapter 5 Changing the Overall Tone of the
Sound and Acoustics (TSC)
“TSC,” short for “Total Sound Control,” is a function that lets you
change the overall tone of the sound and acoustics.
TSC includes two types of effect, “Sound Shape,” which changes
the overall tone of the sound, and “Ambience,” which alters the
acoustic characteristics of the overall sound.
“Sound Shape” and “Ambience” each feature eight pre-
programmed groups of settings (Preset), but you can also add up
to eight more of your own settings (User settings) to these.

When the unit left the factory, the User settings (U1–U8) con-
tained the same settings as the Preset (P1–P8).
With the Preset Styles, settings
for the two types of TSC effects
are predetermined for each
Style individually, allowing
you to attain the acoustic effect
most suitable for each Style.
You can change the
parameters of the Sound Shape
settings and name the settings.
You can store up to eight
settings. For more details, refer
to “Changing the Sound Shape
Parameters” (p. 53).
