Selecting an Element to Edit/Element ON-OFF Switching

Although the and
select a particular element in many functions, some
functions that can be individually programmed for
each element contain several different parameters
which must be selected using the
an alternative means of element selection has been
provided.
If you press and hold the [SELECT] key the ele-
ment selection and switching display will appear.
On the upper display line "FL1" indicates that
Filter 1 is selected and "EL1" indicates that Element
1 is selected. The lower display line indicates that
the 2-element mode has been selected (elements 1
and 2 are active). The asterisks (*) indicate ele-
ments that are not available (3 and 4 in this case).
While the [SELECT] key is held, any of the avail-
able elements can be selected by pressing the
corresponding [EL SEL] key (note the green mark-
ings next to the numeric [7], [4], [1] and [0] keys).
Normally, when you play a voice that is being
edited in the voice edit mode you hear the sound of
the edited voice. This can be compared with the
original (pre-edit) sound by pressing the [EDIT/
COMPARE] key to activate the COMPARE mode.
The [EDIT/COMPARE] key indicator will flash while
the COMPARE mode is active. Press the [EDIT/
COMPARE] key again to return to the VOICE EDIT
mode.

Edit/Compare Operation

Also while the [SELECT] key is pressed, any of
the available elements can also be turned ON or
OFF (usually to hear how a single element in a
multiple-element voice sounds) by pressing the cor-
responding [EL ON/OFF] key (the numeric [8], [5],
[2] and [-] keys). An available element that has been
turned OFF in this manner appears as a "-" on the
display.
Releasing the [SELECT] key returns the display
to the current function.
NOTE: While the COMPARE mode is active it is
not possible to select any other functions. The
[EXIT] key can be used, however, to return to the
voice play mode.
NOTE: When the compare function is used, the
contents of the TG55 "recall buffer" are replaced
with the current contents of the edit buffer (i.e.
the current status of the voice being edited).
This can affect the outcome of a VOICE RE-
CALL operation — see "VOICE RECALL" on
page 77.
