UTILITY mode offers the six functions described below.
TOTAL EQ
This function sets up the 4-band equalizer for the stereo output. ( 287)
PANEL PLAY
This function lets you set up knobs so that they operate as MIDI controllers, and func-
tion keys so that they operate as MIDI keyboard keys. ( 291)
SEQUENCE
Use this function to record and replay MIDI sequences. ( 296)
MASTER
Use this function to adjust the system's output pitch, to adjust the level to the stereo
outputs, and to set an assignable-output destination for the stereo output signal. ( 298)
SYSTEM
This function sets the operating mode for the ASSIGNABLE and AUDITION keys, selects
whether notes are displayed by name or MIDI number, and determines the first function
that becomes active when you switch to a new mode, and the first page that becomes
active when you switch to a new function. ( 300)
MIDI
This function sets the various MIDI parameters (Basic Receive Channel, "omni" enable,
velocity curve, and others). ( 305)
Important
Changes that you make in UTILITY mode never cause any changes to the local settings
stored in your programs and samples. But some UTILITY settings do affect the way that
programs and samples behave, and may effectively disable (or add an offset to) the local
settings.
