Comparing An Edited Program To Its Original Settings; Restoring An Edited Program To Its Original Settings - Alesis 4 Reference Manual

Chapter 1 – Your First Session with the MIDIVerb 4
Comparing an Edited Program to its
Original Settings
The left side of the display always indicates the currently selected Program. If the
[PROG] button is pressed once, the currently selected Program's name and the
Configuration being used both appear in the upper part of the display.
Once a Program has been edited, the Configuration's name will appear in lower case
letters. With multi-effect Configurations (where there is more than one effect being
used) and only one effect has been edited, the edited effect's name will appear in
lower case letters. Example: If using the Configuration DELAY>REVERB and you
have edited only the Delay's parameters, the display will read "delay>REVERB" if
the [PROG] button is pressed. This indicates that one or more of the Delay's
parameters have been altered, but the Reverb's parameters have not been changed.
By pressing both [PAGE] and [A] simultaneously, you can temporarily access the
original version of the Program you are editing — that is, the last Program saved to
the currently selected location number. This allows you to compare the differences
created by changing parameters in the edited Program.
While you are in Compare mode, the display will flash "COMPARING EDITS".
Pressing any button exits Compare mode; the display will return to its original state
and the edited version of the Program will be accessed. You can go in and out of
Compare mode as often as you like, as long as the display indicates that you have
edited the Program in some way (i.e., if the Program hasn't been edited yet, there is
nothing to compare it to, right?).
Restoring an Edited Program to its
Original Settings
If you decide to abort the changes you have made to an edited Program, this can be
done in two easy steps:
Press [PROG].
The display will exit Edit mode.
Turn the [VALUE] knob to select a different Program, then turn it back the
opposite direction to re-select the original Program.
This recalls the stored version of the selected Program number, and the Configuration
name in the display returns to all upper case letters. Consequently, any changes you had
made to the Program before turning the [VALUE] knob would be lost. That is, unless you
stored the edited Program into memory first.
