CHAPTER
111:
THE FUNCTION
MODE
The
FUNCTION mode
permits
access to four
groups
of
functions:
tuning functions,
MIDI
functions,
memory
management
functions,
and performance
functions.
In
this
chapter, we'll
describe
each
of
these functions;
what
they
do and
how
they
are
programmed.
1.
Accessing
the
FUNCTION Mode
The
FUNCTION
mode
is
selected
by pressing the
FUNCTION
button.
Individual
parameters
to
be
programmed
are
then called
by
pressing the appropriate voice
button.
Note
that
when
the
FUNCTION mode
is
active,
pressing
a
voice button
calls
the
corresponding
FUNCTION
parameters, not the
corresponding voice.
The
available
functions are printed
in
brown below each voice button.
Two
additional
functions, the
MODE
SET
and
KEY SET
buttons are
NOT
included
among
the voice
buttons; these function
buttons are located
immediately
above
the
DATA ENTRY
-1 and +1
buttons.
When
the
FUNCTION mode
is
selected, the
LCD
should look
something
like this.
F M,
Tune=
o
The
"F"
in
the
first
character position
of
the
LCD
indicates that the
FUNCTION
mode
is
active.
Following
the "F"
is
the
name
of
the selected function
and
its
current
data.
In
the
example
above, the
MASTER TUNE
function
is
selected (press the
1
button),
and
the data
is
currently set at 0.

Once the desired function has
been
selected,
its
value
can be
changed by using
2.
Entering Function
either
the
linear
DATA ENTRY
slider
located to
the
left
of
the panel, or the
adjacent
n
a fQ
-1/ +

buttons.

The Performance
Parameters
is
DATA
tNTRY
Moving
the
DATA ENTRY
slider
away from you increases the value
of
the selected
parameter,
and moving
the control
towards you decreases the data value. Pressing
the
-1
button decreases the value
of
the selected
parameter by one,
and
pressing
the +1 button
increases the value by one.
While
the
DATA ENTRY
slider
is
valuable
for
quickly
approaching the desired value
of
parameters that
have
a
large
data range,
the
+1 and
-1 buttons
permit precise step-wise location of a specific value.
The
switches are also easier to
use with parameters
that
only have
two
values
(i.e.
ON
or
OFF).
In
some
cases,
you
will
be required
to
answer
YES
or
NO
to
prompts
that
appear on
the
LCD
display.
The -1/ +
1
buttons
are
used
for this
purpose.
"Performance parameters" are
programmable parameters
which
pertain
mainly
to
real-time
performance
effects,
such
as
how
the Pitch
Bend and Modulation Wheels
affect
the
sound. After
a
function
is
selected using the
corresponding
button,
it
can be incremented by continuing to
press the
same
button.
