Global edit mode

What is it, and how the Global is structured

Global edit mode
The Global edit environment is the place where you can set glo-
bal functions, i.e. functions overriding the single Performance,
STS or Style. This edit environment overlaps the current operat-
ing mode (Style Play, Song Play, Sequencer, Sound Edit).
What is it, and how the Global is structured
The Global is a file that can be written to memory (and may sub-
sequently be saved to a card), containing global parameters for
the whole instrument or each single operating mode.
Global parameters can be written to memory by selecting the
various "Write Global..." commands from the page menus –
each dedicated to one of the areas of the Global file. They can be
saved to a card by using the ordinary Media operations.
Note: Saving or loading a ".SET" folder also saves or loads the Glo-
bal file. Parameter changing may be avoided by turning the Lock on
for any single parameter (or groups of parameters in the Lock page
of the Global mode, see "General Controls: Lock" on page 203).
There are separate areas in the Global file, that may be separately
written to memory, to avoid writing all global parameters at
once when not needed:
• Global Setup, containing global parameters not linked to
any single operating mode.
• Style Play Setup, containing global parameters for the Style
Play mode, not linked to the single Performance, STS or
Style.
• Song Play Setup, containing global parameters for the Song
Play mode, not linked to the single Song.
• Sequencer Setup, containing global parameters for the
Sequencer mode, not linked to the single Song.
• Media Preferences, containing preferences for the Media
mode.
• MIDI Setup, containing the available MIDI Setups, i.e., set-
tings for MIDI communication.

Main page

There is no main page in the Global edit mode. When pressing
EXIT, you exit the Global mode, and the underlying operating
mode in the background is recalled.

Edit menu

From any page of the Global mode, press the MENU button to
open the Global edit menu. This menu gives access to the vari-
ous Global edit sections.
When in the menu, select an edit section, or press EXIT to exit
the Global mode.
When in a page, press EXIT to go back to current operating
mode in the background (Style Play, Song Play, Sequencer,
Sound).
Each item in this menu corresponds to an edit section. Each edit
section groups various edit pages, that may be selected by press-
ing the corresponding tab on the lower part of the display.
Note: The Global mode is not available while in Record mode
(Style Record, Pad Record, Song Record).
