Chapter 5
Global Parameters
Global parameters do just what their name implies: affect the operation of
instrument-wide behavior (like the tuning of all the notes you play). There is one set of
seven global parameters; they affect both Internal Voices mode and MIDI Setups
mode.

Access to the Global Parameters

View or edit the global parameters in Edit mode (either Internal Voices or MIDI
Setups) by pressing the Col Select button until both of the Parameters column LEDs
are off. Then use the Row Select button to select a speciÞc parameter. The names of the
global parameters are in the right-most column under the label Global. WeÕll describe
the function of each below.
Editing a global parameter is the same as editing any other parameter. You can
increment or decrement its value with the Down and Up arrow buttons or enter a new
value directly with the digit buttons and Enter. After editing, the new value will take
effect immediately.

What the Global Parameters Do

Here is a description of what each global parameter does, in the order they appear on
the front panel.

Local

Off, On
This parameter establishes (On) or breaks (Off) the internal link between the keyboard
plus controls and the internal sound module. Default is On which is appropriate for
standalone use and with external sound modules. Off is typically used with a
computer sequencer or external MIDI processor.

Stereo

Stereo, Mono
This parameter switches the internal sound module between stereo audio output
(default) and mono output. Use the Mono setting when you have a mono ampliÞer or
only one input to a mixer available. When set to Mono, both Left and Right outputs
will have the same signal. The Phones output will be mono as well. Note that this
setting does not affect any external modules you may be using.
