These duplicate
programs have
been
included
for
several reasons:
1)
to
leave
open
pivot points
to
allow
you
to
move
the
factory
programs
to
different locations for
your
particular
needs;
2)
to
give you
space
to
store
your
first
programs and
live
with
them
for a
while before
storing
them
in
another
location
(in
place
of
one
of
the factory
programs:
3)
to
allow
you
to practice
working
with the
factory
programs
in
order
to
fine
tune
them
to suit
your
tastes:
and
4)
to
let
vou
trace the
development
of certain of
the
factory
programs (BRASS and
HARPSICHORD)
so that
you
can begin
to
work
out your
own
methods
for
creating
programmed
sounds.
Let
us
look
at
these various things
one
at a
time.
It
is
easy to
change
the
positions of the factory
programs
using either 5-7 or 5-8
as a pivot point. For
instance,
let
us say that
we
want
to
move SYNC
I
from
1-7 to
3-1 (so
it
will
be
next
to
SYNC
II),
PIPE
ORGAN
FLUTES from
3-1
to 2-8
(so
it
will
be
next
to
REED
ORGAN),
and
BRASS
IN FIFTHS from
2-8 to
1-7 (so
it
will
be
in
the
same bank
as
BRASS).
Use
the following procedure:
1)
Put
the
back
panel
RECORD
ENABLE/DISABLE
switch
in
the
ENABLE
position.
2)
Switch
PRESET
mode
on.
3)
Select
3-1
and
press the
RECORD
switch.
4)
Select 5-7.
You
have
now
recorded
PIPE
ORGAN
FLUTES
in
location
5-7.
5)
Select 1-7
and
press the
RECORD
switch.
6)
Select
3-1.
You
have
now
recorded
SYNC
I
in
location
3-1.
7)
Select 2-8
and
press
the
RECORD
swtich.
8)
Select
1-7.
You have
now
recorded
BRASS
IN FIFTHS
in
location 1-Z
9)
Select 5-7
and
press the
RECORD
switch.
10)
Select 2-8.
You have
now
recorded
PIPE
ORGAN
FLUTES
in
location
2-8,
and have completed
this
round
of location juggling.
If
the
above procedure
is
followed
carefully,
you
will
never
erase
a
program
accidentally, because each
program
that
is
about
to
be
erased
from one
location also
exists
in
another
location.
Of
course,
you
should be
careful to
hit
the correct
BANK
and
PROGRAM
buttons
when
you
are
in
RECORD
mode
—
if
you
hit
the
wrong
button you
may
erase
a
program
that
is
not duplicated.
It is
true
that
if
you
erase
a
factory
program you
can
duplicate
it
using the patch diagrams provided
in
this
manual; however,
if
you
erase
one
of
your
own
programs, you
will
have
to
start
again
from
scratch
unless
you have
kept
a
record
of
your
front
panel
settings for that
program.
For
this
reason,
we
have
provided you with
a
number
of
blank
front panel diagrams
at
the
end
of
this
manual, and
we
recommend
that
you keep
a
record
of
your
favorite
programs.
Before
replacing 5-7 or
5-8.
it
might be
good
to
use the duplicate programs
to familiarize yourself with
techniques
of fine-tuning
a
program.
Edit 5-7
and
RECORD
those adjustments,
then
switch
back and
forth
between
1-1 (the original patch)
and
5-7 (the patch
as
you have
edited
it).
This
will
allow you
to
make some
very
direct
comparisons
between
various
settings,
and
will
help you
to
understand
how
to
go about
adjusting various aspects of
a
patch
in
order
to
get the
sound you
want.
Use
a
similar
approach
in
working
with the 5-8
dupe
of
the
HARPSICHORD
program.
Read
the notes
accompanying
the
HARPSICHORD
patch
diagram
(1-6)^
particularly those
under
the
heading "GENESIS
OF
THIS PATCH." Experiment
with
some
of the
critical
adjustments
on
the FILTER;
change
the
PULSE-WIDTH
settings of
the
two
oscillators.
RECORD
some
of
your
alterations
on
the patch
in
location
5-8
and
compare them
with the
original
patch
at
location 1-6 and
use
5-8 for
a
new
purpose.
By the way, you need
not
limit
yourself to
BRASS
and
HARPSICHORD
sounds
when
experimenting
in
this
way: any
of
the
factory presets
can be
duplicated
in location
5-7 or 5-8 to allow
for
this
kind
of
experimental comparison.
