A horizontal line appears until you select the next digit (which
means the programmer is waiting for an input).
If the first digit selected was wrong, simply press the ' w
button TWO times, so that the number S ' appears in the
left hand digit of the Parameter Number Display.
2. Next, push the Number Select button
Parameter has now been selected.
PARAMETER
NOTE:
I f you enter numbers that are not in the Parameter Table ( ,-'S
or fo r example), the number will be accepted but the
35 ,
VALUE section o f the Display will be blank. This will also
happen if you try to access D CO 2 or DEG 2 parameters in
WHOLE M ode (they are only available in DOUBLE Mode).
4.2.4 Edit the Parameter
The UP and DOWN switches in the Value section are used to
change the Value of the selected parameter. The current value
of the parameter is shown in the VALUE section of the Display:
DOWN
VALUE
Press the UP button to INCREASE the value; press the DOWN
button to DECREASE the value. If you press and release either
of these buttons quickly, the value will change one step at a
time. If you keep either button depressed, the value will increase
or decrease rapidly after a short pause.
NOTE:
I f the VCF C u toff Value is reduced to near [I, the volume
o f the sound will also be reduced.

The dot is let.
When you select a Parameter and then change it, a small LED
dot will turn on in the lower right corner of the VALUE Display.
This dot shows that the parameter Value has been changed;
if you restore the parameter to its previous Value, the dot will
go out. However, if you leave the new value in place (LED dot
is on), select another parameter, and then reselect the first (al­
tered) parameter — the LED dot will NOT turn on.
The LED dot only shows when a Parameter has been changed
since you selected it. It DOESN'T tell you whether or not the
Parameter Value is the same as in the original (" permanent" )
program being edited.
4.2.5 Edit the Remaining Parameters
After editing one parameter to your satisfaction, repeat steps
3 and 4 for the next parameter, and so on. Continue editing
parameters (re-editing if necessary) until the desired sound is
achieved.
• If you don't like the edited sound, you can cancel ALL of
the edits and restore the original programmed sound. Just
press the PROG/PARA switch to select Program Mode, and
re-select the original Program Number.
• To make the edited version PERMANENT, you must write
it into memory (see Section 4.3 below).
4.2.6 Using the BANK HOLD Feature
The BNAK HOLD feature allows the current Parameter Bank
number (left hand digit of the Parameter Display) to be " held" .
This enables you to select any of the Parameters in that bank
with a single press of a button, for easy editing of a particular
Poly-800 Module.
BANK HOLD
EXAMPLE: Editing the VCF Parameters
• Select any VCF Parameter (such as Cutoff,' - ! i) as explained
above, and then press the BANK HOLD switch. The Dis­
play will show the following:
