3.2 DPM V3 PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES
Now that we've covered the basics, let's look at the available synth parameters.
Important: |n order to save space (there's a lot to discuss here!), we'll assume that
you've pressed the Edit master button and know how to select pages and parameters,
as described earlier in the manual.
Each heading (typed in UPPER CASE) will be for a particular module (oscillator, filter,
etc). Several modules contain multiple "pages" of parameters, with a page consisting
of the parameters shown on a single display screen. Pages are presented in ascen-
ding order (i.e., each page is followed by the page that occurs if you press the Up Ar-
row button). In addition to describing parameters, any necessary background
information on a function will also be presented.
3.2a About the Compare Function
When you edit a DPM V3 program, you are actually editing a copy of the program.
This has two important ramifications:
* To retain the results of your edit, you must save it to a particular program location. If
you switch program locations before saving, your edits will be lost.
* Because the original program remains undisturbed, you can compare the edited
version to the original program by pressing the COMP (compare) master switch.
The display will indicate an edited program by showing *E* in the lower left-hand cor-
ner. If you select the original program via the compare function, you'll see *C* (for
compared version) in the lower left-hand corner.
3.3 PROGRAM NAME
This is the first page of the Edit menu. To change the name, use the Left/Right Arrow
buttons to choose the character to be changed, then select the desired character. For
more information, see section 2.3b.
3.4 OSC 1
Oscillator 1 has four pages of parameters.
