COMPARE

Press the COMPARE soft button to temporarily recall an unedited version of the program,
allowing you to compare your edited program with the original program.

SOLO LYR

Press the SOLO LYR soft button to temporarily solo the currently selected Layer.

MUTE LYR

Press the MUTE LYR soft button to mute the currently selected Layer.

FX BYPASS

Press the FX BYPASS soft button to temporarily bypass the Insert and Aux FX Chains.
Bypassing the FX is useful for checking the output level of a program with and without
its FX Chains. If the output level of a program is the same with and without the FX being
bypassed, it will prevent sudden jumps in volume that can occur when switching programs
while notes are being held. When a new program is selected while notes from the last
program are still being held, the FX Chains from the last program may be "stolen" by the
new program if there are not enough FX resources for both programs. You may hear a sudden
jump in volume if the output of a program is too quiet or too loud without its FX Chains.
To fix this, usually the output gain in the last box of the Insert Chain should be adjusted
until the program volume is the same with and without bypassing the FX. Afterwards, you
may need to adjust the Common Page OutGain of the program to match its level with other
programs.
NEW FM
Press the NEW FM soft button to create a new FM layer. A new layer will be created
numbered one above the highest layer in the Program. An FM layer contains a set of
oscillators designed to emulate classic 6 operator FM synthesizers.
NEW PMTR
When assigning a physical controller or CC number to a VAST source field, a Parameter
is automatically added to the Parameters Page (unless the physical controller/MIDI CC is
already being used by an existing Parameter on the Parameters Page). In other cases it may be
desirable to manually create a new Parameter. Press the NEW PMTR soft button to create
