Edit vs. Play Mode

In Play mode you select different sounds (or MIDI Setups if in MIDI Setups mode) by
pressing the Sound/Setup Select buttons to the right of the display. In Edit mode, the
sound (or setup) is frozen and the Sound/Setup Select buttons perform a variety of
editing functions as marked on the buttons themselves. That is really the main
differenceÑyou can play the keyboard and controls equally well in either mode.
In Play mode, the display shows the sound (or setup) number. A bi-color LED in one
of the Sound/Setup Select buttons also indicates the current sound (or setup). All of
the LEDs to the left of the display are off as well.
In Edit mode, the display shows the value of the currently selected parameter. LEDs to
the left of the display indicate which parameter is current. The current sound (or
setup) continues to be indicated in the Sound/Setup Select buttons.
The following assumes that you are in Edit mode.

Selecting a Parameter

The names of all 30 possible parameters are listed in the Parameters area. The listing is
in 3 columns (Left, Right, and Global) and 6 rows. In each column, there are 1 or 2
parameters per row.
The 2 column-designator LEDs indicate a column, either Left or Right. If both are off,
then the Global column is current.
The 6 row-designator LEDs indicate a row. If the LED is on continuously, then the
upper parameter of the pair is current. If it is blinking, the lower parameter is current.
To select a different column, press the Col Select button repeatedly until the column
LEDs indicate the desired column. Note that the current row LED may change from
blinking to continuous when you change to a column with only one parameter for the
current row.
To select a different row, press the Row Select button until the desired row and
parameter are selected. If you overshoot, just keep pressing and the row selection will
ÒwrapÓ from bottom to top again.
As you select different parameters, the display will change to show their value. If you
return to Play mode then later reenter Edit mode, you will Þnd that the parameter
selection is remembered.

Increment/Decrement Editing

The easiest way to change the value of the currently selected parameter is to use the
Up/Down buttons (the ones with the arrows on them) to cycle through all of the
possible values for the parameter. This is particularly effective when the parameterÕs
values are words like i i
changes in numerical values.
If you hold an arrow button down, its action will begin to repeat rapidly after a short
delay which will speed up larger changes.
