TEMPORARY ESCAPE FROM EDIT SOUND

Thanks to multitasking, you can temporarily es-
cape Edit Sound by pressing the SYNTH button
or ESCAPE. The Sound remains in edit and the
selected track of the current Performance plays
the Sound in its modified status.
To return to the sound in edit press SYNTH again.
If you attempt to select a Song, Style, Perform-
ance or Sound while the sound is still in edit, the
display will show the following message:
Press either ENTER or ESCAPE to close the win-
dow, press SYNTH to return to the Edit, then
press EXIT or SAVE to escape permanently.

PERMANENT ESCAPE WITHOUT SAVING

To escape EDIT SOUND permanently, use the
EXIT option, (F6), in the main Edit Sound menu.
An "Are you sure" dialog appears requesting con-
firmation of the Exit command. Further con-
firmation of the Exit command with Enter escapes
EDIT SOUND permanently and cancels all modi-
fications made to the Sound prior to escaping the
Edit.
To escape permanently without losing the modi-
fications, use the SAVE option (F8) explained
under the section entitled "Storing Sounds" to-
wards the end of this chapter.
