Edit Mode; System-Midi Mode - ENSONIQ DP/4 Musician's Manual

Section 2 - Getting Started
Edit Mode
In Edit mode, you edit those parameters having to do with the algorithms in each of the four
Units and those having to do with the current Config. After pressing Edit, pressing A, B, C, D, or
Config determines what you will be editing. The display shows:
Parameter Number
Parameters which can be selected and adjusted
• The red LED display shows the number of the currently selected parameter. This will change
as you scroll left or right to select different parameters.
• The LCD display shows one or more parameters, which can be selected and adjusted. The
currently selected parameter will always be flashing.
• The Left/Right Arrow buttons scroll through the different parameters. Use them to select the
parameter you want to change.
• The Data Entry Knob changes the value of the selected parameter.
System-MIDI Mode
System· MIDI Mode is like Edit mode, except that it deals only with those parameters which are
system-wide, or "global." The System.MIDI parameters are those (such as MIDI channels,
Controllers, and program change maps) which do not change as you select different presets and
configs. The display shows:
Parameter Number
Preset Me . . . . . ory
Protec =Off
Parameter which can be selected and adjusted
• The red LED display shows the number of the currently selected parameter. There are 63
parameters in this mode - the DP / 4 offers great flexibility for customizing it to your exact
needs.
• The LCD display shows one or more parameters, which can be selected and adjusted. The
currently selected parameter will always be flashing.
• The Left/Right Arrow buttons scroll through the different parameters. Use them to select the
parameter you want to change.
• The Data Entry Knob changes the value of the selected parameter.
Tip: Though you can scroll continuously through all 63 System. MIDI parameters
using the Left/Right Arrow buttons, this might get tedious; you can use the following
shortcuts to get "into the neighborhood" of the parameter(s) you desire:
• After pressing System. MIDI, press A, B, C, D, or Config to go to system parameters relating
to them.
• Press System. MIDI repeatedly to go directly to several convenient locations within the
remaining parameter list. Then scroll to the parameter you want.
