The Live buffer
The special Live buffer can be described
as a “live program memory” . If you activate
the Live button, all changes to the panel set-
tings you make will be continuously saved . If
you switch the power off, or select another
program, the settings are still stored in the
Live memory, so when you power up next
time (or return to the Live memory) all set-
tings will be exactly as they were when you left them .
If the Live memory is selected and you decide you wish to store the
settings permanently as a program you can do so using the stan-
dard methods (see above) . You can also store programs into the Live
memory location, in which case the program settings will replace the
current Live memory settings .
Octave Shift
Press either of the Octave Shift buttons to
shift the pitch up or down in whole octaves
within the instrument’s note range . Each
