Exchanging Patches is also very simple: let's say Me "ant to s"ap

First call up the
Patch we
want to exchange
by
activating the
PATCH LED,
then entering "ln, Then
press the black EXCHANGE/SAVE button - the display will show· ~1 And
1", Now
enter the number of the Patch
to exchange, "59• in
our
example. (As usual, you can use either+/- buttons or numeric pad),
When the display shoMs "1 And
59n,
press the EXCHANGE button again and
you're through!

EXT. SET
As
Ne
all knoN, an immense a•ount of data is trans•itted to slave
units on each Patch Change command,
Data transftission is fast, but it
still takes a certain ,mount of time for instructions to reach all the
instru~ents in
a
systeft and to
be
implemented. When
a
certain data
limit is reached some delay may become audible, leaving the last unit
in your MIDI daisychain li•ping behind
on
a progra• change Hhen you're
ready to
play
on. This has nothing to do with the quality of the slave
or
the "ASTER KEYBOARD, but is a
matter
of
the
ftaxiau•
possible
speed when transmitting data via
MIDI,
The operating system of the
BIT "ASTER KEYBOARD
is programmed to take
this into account, and, among other details, will only send a progra•
change command when truly neccessary. If the system notices that the
current Patch is transMitting Sound Progra• ~27u over MIDI channel J,
and the next Patch also uses Sound

no
Program Change com~and will be sent. This reduces the data floN, and
avoids ti~e lags as far as possible.
The EXT. SET button allows you to over-ride the operating softHare and
transmit all data. This feature is useful Nhere front pan~l settings
on a receiving keyboard have been changed during play {e.g. manual
filter sweep). Using EXT. SET lets you return these settings to their
original status for the next song, in the above exa•ple Sound Program
