Advanced Use

Edit mode allows you to get the most out of the VK-8M's
functions by making more detailed settings. This section
explains the functions that can be set in Edit mode. In this
owner's manual, the process of modifying a setting is
referred to as "editing," and the item of data that is modified
is referred to as a "parameter."

■ About the Edit Modes

There are two edit modes—one saves settings individually
for each registration, while the other stores a single value to
be used by the entire system.
System Memory
The parameter that stores things for the entire system deals
with the following:
• Organ rotary settings (p. 41)
• Click noise and percussion settings (p. 43)
• MIDI settings (p. 44)
• Equalizer and other settings (p. 47)
Registration Memory
The parameter that stores things on an individual
registration basis deals with the following:
• Harmonic bars and other panel settings (p. 37)
• Reverb and other settings (p. 48)
NOTE
In the case of settings that are saved for each registration, you
must save the edited settings in a registration. If you turn off the
power without saving the edited settings to a registration, your
changes will be lost.

■ Basic Procedure

Here is the basic procedure for each edit mode.
→ For details, refer to the explanation for each edit mode.
1.
Hold down the [BANK] buttons, and press the [***]
button.
The indicators of the [1]–[6] buttons will blink.
The [***] button will be a different button depending on
the edit mode that you want to set. For details, follow the
procedure for each edit mode.
2.
Press one of the buttons from [1] through [6] to select
the parameter that you want to edit.
If more than six different parameters are involved, press
the [H-BAR PART] button. The button's color changes,
and you can then select all of the parameters.
3.
Turn the [VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob to adjust
the setting.
For parameters that are switched ON/OFF, turn the
[VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob toward the right to
switch the parameter ON, or toward the left to switch it
OFF.
For parameters that have an adjustable value, turn the
[VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob toward the right to
increase the value, or toward the left to decrease the
value.
At this time, the AMPLIFIER type and REVERB type
indicators at this point display the approximate value of
a setting (p. 40).
If you press the VIBRATO AND CHORUS [ON] button,
the setting will return to the initial value.
4.
If you want to adjust another parameter in the same
edit mode, press [H-BAR PART] button and one of the
[1]–[6] buttons to select the parameter, and turn the
[VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob to edit the value.
When you want to stop editing, press the [BANK]
button.
5.
Press the [WRITE] button to finalize the settings of the
parameters.
Parameter settings will be saved.
While the parameters are being saved, the indicators of
the [1]-[6] button will blink.
6.
Parameters that are edited independently for each
registration are saved as part of the registration (p. 37).
