A newly created program title is automatically stored with
the appropriate program data when the Program Title Edit
mode is exited.
NOTE: The TITLE EDIT function can only be used when
one of the FX500 RAM memory locations (61
through 90) are selected. If you call the TITLE
EDIT function while a ROM memory location (1
through 60) is selected, the following display will
appear and editing will not be possible.
/RAH(61-90) ONLY
TITLE EDIT
The mode that was active before the UTILITY key was
pressed (MEMORY or PARAM) is selected following the
last function on the utility list. The UTILITY mode can also
be exited by pressing several times or holding (about one
second) the UTILITY button until the UTILITY key indicator
goes out.

Program Title Edit
The Program Title Edit function allows you to create
original titles for your effect programs, for easy
identification. When Program Title Edit is called the LCD
will appear something like the example below — the
memory title will appear on the upper line. Use the
MEMORY (-^ and PARAM (►) keys to move the cursor to
the desired character location, then use the Aand Tkeys
to change the character at the cursor location. The STORE
key can be used to place a space at the cursor position.
Continue until the new title is complete.

MIDI Program Selection: MIDI
Setup and Program Change Table
Edit
The FX500 makes it possible to select specific programs
via external MIDI control. You can set up the FX500, for
example, so that when you select a voice on a synthesizer
the most appropriate effect for that voice is automatically
selected. This is accomplished because each time you
select a voice on your MIDI synthesizer it transmits the
corresponding MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER. The
FX5(X) receives this PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER and
selects the effect program that you have assigned to it
using the Program Change Table Edit function which will
be described below. A more convenient idea for guitarists
would be to use a MIDI foot controller such as the Yamaha
MFC1 to transmit the required MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE
NUMBERS. The FX500 actually can be programmed with
four completely independent sets of MIDI PROGRAM
CHANGE NUMBER/MEMORY NUMBER assignments.
Each of these is contained in a different "bank": A, B, C or
D. Each BANK may also be programmed to receive on a
different MIDI channel. The four banks may be
programmed with different receive channels using the MIDI
Setup function described below.
