4. Selecting and executing menu
commands
The menu provides commands that are specific to each page,
such Write (save) or Copy. The available functions will
depend on the current page.
For example, the utility functions in Program mode let you
write (save) the settings, perform convenient editing
operations such as copying settings between oscillators or
effects, "Sync" EGs so that you can edit two of them at once,
and so on.
1. In the upper right of the display, press the menu
button.
A list of menu commands will appear.
2. Select a menu command by pressing it with your
finger.
A dialog box for the selected menu command will appear.
Check-type commands will not display a dialog box; their
status will be switches, and the list will close. By holding
down the ENTER switch and pressing a numeric key 0–9
you can access the dialog box for the first ten utility
functions without going through the menu.
• To close the list without selecting a command, press the
display somewhere other than the list, or press the EXIT
switch.
3. For a parameter in a dialog box, select it by pressing it
with your finger, and use the VALUE controllers (e.g.,
VALUE dial or Inc/Dec buttons) to enter its value.
When selecting a program or combination number in a
dialog box, you can also use the BANK SELECT switch to
enter the bank as an alternative to using the VALUE
controllers.
4. To execute the command, press the OK button. If you
decide not to execute the command, press the Cancel
button or the EXIT button.
The dialog box will close.
5. Writing and saving
After you edit, you should write or save your changes as
necessary. For example if you've edited a program, your
changed will be lost if you select another program or turn off
the power. The same applies to a combination. Settings you
edit in Global mode will be remembered as long as the
power is on, but your changes will be lost when you turn off
the power.
