Creating User "Tones"

[newtocasio]

I'm considering purchasing a PX-560 and have a couple of questions. When creating "user" tones,  can you access one of the 790 wav files and then save it in one of the 280 available a user "tone" slots and not a user "hex file"?

Waveform (wave) level access is only available within hex layer tone editing.  Hex layer tones must be saved in the hex layer user tone category.

It appears that in order to edit a "melody" tone, that tone has to be in upper layer 1. I don't see an "edit" button on the tone screen in upper layer 2 or in lower levels 1 and 2.  That would mean you have to select the tone to be edited by placing it in layer 1, edit it, save it as a new user tone, then select that new user tone in whatever layer you desire.  If this is correct, then you can't really edit tones on the fly unless already in upper layer 1. Is this correct? Example- grand piano layer upper 1, electric piano upper 2- want to edit the electric piano quickly as you are playing and not necessarily need to save the edited tone.

Yes, for the PX-560 that is correct.  Edit is only available for upper 1.  You can however, assign some tone editing controls to your assignable knobs if you want live control of certain aspects like effects levels, cutoff, resonance, etc.  Each knob can do 2 different things and each can be assigned to just 1 part (upper, lower) or multiple parts.
