The [+] and [–] buttons can be used to increment (increase by one) or dec-
rement (decrease by one) the currently selected parameter. Press the [+] button
briefly to increment the parameter value, or the [–] button to decrement. If you
hold the [+] or [–] button down, the value will increment or decrement con-
tinuously — simply release the button when the desired value has been
reached.
The number buttons — to the right of the [+] and [–] buttons — allow
direct numeric entry of the desired value, and are therefore the fastest way to
edit in many situations.
To select a voice, for example, choose one of the 128 voices — numbered
"01" through "128" — listed in the "Voice & Polyphony List" on page 77, then
4
enter its number using the number buttons. To select "Harmonica" (number
23), for example, first press [2] then [3]. The number "23" should then appear
on the LCD display panel along with the name "Harmnica".
The [+/–] button is used to switch between positive and negative values
+ –
with parameters that allow negative values (Transpose, Tuning, Octave, and
1 _ _
Pan, for example). A "–" appears before negative values on the LCD display
panel.
When selecting voice numbers the [+/–] button is used to enter the hundreds
digit of the voice number (the button alternately selects no hundreds digit or
"1"), as required, prior to entering the tens and ones digits. The [1] number
0
button cannot be used to enter the hundreds digit when selecting voices.
Values outside the range of the selected parameter can not be entered.
This is undoubtedly the easiest way to edit most parameters. Simply rotate
the dial clockwise to increment or counter-clockwise to decrement.
NOTES
Some operations that change important settings or erase data may require you to
confirm your choice by pressing the [YES] or [NO] button. When a choice needs to be
confirmed the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will flash and a digitally sampled voice will ask
"Are you sure?". Press the [YES] button to execute the specified operation or the [NO]
button to cancel and leave the settings or data unaffected.
NO
If you don't want to hear the "Are you sure?" confirmation sound, hold down the [NO]
button while initially turning the power switch on. To restore the confirmation sound, turn
the power switch off, then turn it back on again while holding down the [YES] button. The
on/off status of the confirmation sound is retained in memory even when the power
switch is turned off as long as the backup batteries are installed or an AC plug is
connected.
• After editing a parameter other than [VOICE SELECT], the [VOICE SE-
LECT] parameter will automatically be re-selected after a brief delay.
• If you attempt to change a parameter that can not be edited in the
current mode, "IllegalOperation" will appear on the LCD display.
