KEY ASSIGN

JOB #02: PARAMETER ASSIGN
FUNCTION
Note the difference to alterations made with EDIT VOICE:
The Parameter Assign changes ONLY affect the voice as it
is played by the selected Instrument key, while the Edit Voice
changes affect that voice in all cases (i.e. also in existing
patterns or as played by external MIDI devices). Therefore,
similar to Edit Pattern, the values set with Parameter Assign
are displayed for each Instrument key as offsets relative to
the basic Edit Voice value.
OPERATION
1. Select Job #02.
The upper line of the LCD displays the previously se-
lected key and its assigned voice.
2. Select the desired Instrument key by tapping it.
3. The lower line of the LCD will show any one of the four
parameters listed further below, its key value and offset
to the basic Edit Voice value. Parameters are selected
with numeric keys 1 through 4 according to the menu
marked "*", printed immediately above numeric key 7.
To alter the pitch, level, pan and/or decay
of voices assigned to specific Instrument keys.
