The Arpeggiator menu contains parameters that are related to the Master
Arpeggiator such as creating and editing arpeggiator patterns. An illumi-
nated LED in the button indicates that you are in the Arpeggiator menu.
For more information about the Arpeggiator menu, see page 243
The MIDI menu contains parameters that are MIDI related. An illuminated
LED in the button indicates that you are in the MIDI menu. For more infor-
mation about the MIDI menu, see page 159.
Pressing the MIDI and Home/Enter buttons simultaneously sends a MIDI
"All Notes Off" and "All Sound Off" for all 32 MIDI channels.
The Home/Enter button is dual purpose. In general, this button acts as the
"Home" button. For example, when in an Edit menu, this button snaps the
cursor to the page name field of the current screen. When viewing the
Preset Select screen, this button snaps the cursor to the preset number field.
The flashing green LED of the Home/Enter button indicates that pressing
the button will initiate a particular operation.
The Save/Copy button is used to save changes to a pattern, song, preset,
copy data between presets, randomize presets and to move other types of
data. Selected groups of parameters, such as PatchCord settings, can be
copied between Presets and/or between Layers using this menu. The menu
is context-sensitive and will start at the appropriate save screen. See Save/
Copy on page 285 for more information.
The LED in the button illuminates to indicate that you are in the Save/
Copy menu. The LED also illuminates when any preset parameter has been
changed in the Edit menu (or if the front panel knobs have been moved
with Quick-Edit mode enabled).
The Compare button allows you to toggle between an edited version of a
preset and the original, unedited version. When a preset has been edited,
an asterisk appears in the preset name field and the Save/Copy LED flashes.
Press the Compare button, lighting it's LED, to hear the unedited preset.
Press the Compare button again to hear the edited preset. If edits are made
to the preset while listening to the compared original version, compare
mode is aborted and the compare LED goes off.
When the Audition button is pressed, the LED next to the button will
illuminate and a short "Riff" (programmed as part of the preset) will play.
The Riff is latched on and plays continuously until the button is pressed
again. Presets can be changed while Audition is latched on. See "Bank Select
Commands" on page 196 for more information on selecting banks via MIDI.
