Parameter Editing
All parameter editing involves the same general procedure, with minor
variations:
¿ Select the type of parameters you want to edit with the
corresponding button: [MIX], [PROGRAM], or [GLOBAL].
Mix parameters edit a Mix. Program parameters edit a Program. Effects
parameters can be edited from within a Mix or a Program (see below). Global
parameters edit general characteristics that affect the entire instrument.
¡ Select an Edit Mode with the [SELECT] button.
Example: If you pressed [PROGRAM], the [SELECT] button switches between
two groups of functions—one for editing the Program’s Sound layers(Program
Edit Mode), and the other for editing the associated Effect (Effects Edit Mode). If
you’re editing a Mix, the [SELECT] button switches between three groups of
functions—one for editing the Mix’s parameters (Mix Edit Mode), one for
editing the Programs in the Mix (Program Edit Mode), and the last for editing
the associated Effect (Effects Edit Mode).
¬ Use the FUNCTION [♦] and [∅] buttons to select a function
(level, pitch, etc.). Alternatively, you can use the DIRECT SELECT
buttons (located on the far left of the front panel) to directly select a
Function to edit.
Press FUNCTION [∅] to move toward the end of the list, and FUNCTION
[♦] to move back toward the beginning. The selected function will be underlined
in the display. Press both FUNCTION [♦] and [∅] simultaneously to get back
to the first function in the list.
If a function has multiple pages, select the appropriate page by
using the PAGE [♦] and [∅] buttons.
The LCD’s page number strip shows the number of pages in a function; an
underline shows the currently selected page (e.g., if the display shows “1 2 3”
then page two is selected).
Press the PAGE [∅] button to select the next higher-numbered page, and
PAGE [♦] to select the next lower-numbered page. Press both PAGE [♦] and
[∅] simultaneously to get back to the first page of the selected function.
ƒ Select a parameter on the page for editing.
There can be up to four editable parameters on a page. The right side of the
display shows these parameters with both text and bar graph meters to give
instant visual feedback concerning a parameter’s value. Each of the four
columns has an associated Quad Knob and Button: the leftmost column
monitors Quad Knob/Button[1], the second from left column monitors Quad
Knob/Button [2], etc. Turning a Quad Knob or pressing its Button selects the
associated parameter for editing. The currently selected parameter is indicated
by a thick line at the bottom of one of the four bar graph meters.
H Change the parameter value.
You can edit the value either by turning the associated Quad Knob (for large
value changes) or pressing the VALUE [¬] and [] buttons (for smaller
changes).
