CHAPTER

DX1
FEATURES
AND
FUNCTIONS
Despite
of
the fact that the DXl has
a
vast
number
of
functions, its control panel
is
remarkably simple.
This has been made
possible
by
the use
of
many multi-function
switches that change their function
according
to
the number
of
times they are
pressed.
This system
of
providing many
functions with
the
smallest number
of
switches
is
similar to that
of
using
an
alphanumeric keyboard
for
inputting commands
on
a
large computer.
In
this section we
will briefly introduce the features and
functions
of
the DXl control panel.
2-1 TTie
4
modes
of
the
DX1
The
DXl
has four main modes.
These are
selected using
the
MODE selectors.
Each
mode has its own
set
of
parameters,
PLAY MODE
In
this mode, voice and effect data
called
can
be
used directly
in
performance.
Although there
is no
specific switch
for
this mode, it is the basic mode
selected
when
the three modes
described below are
all
turned
OFF,
In
the play mode, the
PERFORMANCE MEMORY/FUNCTIOH
and
VOICE MEMORY
buttons become
the play
mode voice
selectors.
EDIT MODE
In
this mode voice data
can be
programmed.
Data already
contained in
the
voice memory
can
be
edited and changed,
or
completely
new
voices can
be
created simply
by
inputting
the
appropriate
data.
The edit mode takes
priority over
the play
mode,
FUNCTION MODE
In
this mode
the
many effects used during
performance can
be set.
Commands related
to
memory control
and the MIDI terminal are
also included
in this mode.
This mode takes
priority
over both the play and edit modes.
^
STORE MODE
^
In
this mode data can
be
stored
in the
voice
and performance memories.
Voice parameters
in the EDIT
mode
can be
memorized
in the
VOICE MEMORY, and function parameters and
VOICE MEMORY numbers
can be
combined and
recorded
in the
PERFORMANCE MEMORY.
The
store mode takes priority over the play,
edit and function modes.
