The Operating Modes

Program Mode

Program Mode
In Program Mode, instrument sounds (Programs) can be selected and played. The sound of
each Program can be modified by parameters that are assigned to the controllers (Sliders,
Switch buttons, Mod Wheel, and Pedals). Modified Programs can be saved as User Programs
by pressing the Save button.
To enter Program Mode from another Mode, press the Program Mode button.
For more detailed information on Program Mode, see Program Mode on page 5-2.

Global Mode

Global Mode allows you to edit global parameters and MIDI settings, load and save User
Programs and Multis, or restore factory defaults with a hard or soft reset. To enter Global
Mode from another Mode, press the Global Mode button. See Global Mode on page 9-1
for further information.

Storage Mode

This Mode allows you to save or load files from a computer or other USB-equipped storage
device. Begin by pressing the Storage Mode button. On the main Storage menu, four
options are available: Device (PC or USB), Store, Load (Overwrite) or Load (Fill). Pressing
the Exit Button while in Storage Mode will return to the previous Mode the instrument was
in.
Valid file formats for loading are: .ART, .PC3, .P3K, .PLE, .SPX. and .ASE (Artis SE
extension). When a file has been selected to load, pressing the + Button or Assign Button will
load the selected file. Pressing the Exit Button or - Button will return to the main Storage
page. See Storage Mode on page 10-1 for further detail.

Multi Edit Mode

Multi Edit Mode allows you to edit pre-existing Multis.
To enter Multi Edit Mode press the Edit Button while in Multi Mode. The Edit button does
apply in Program Mode; however, hitting Split or Layer while in Program mode will also put
the Artis SE into Multi Edit mode. See Multi Edit Mode on page 8-1 for more detail.
