Advanced Use

Edit mode allows you to get the most out of the VK-88's
functions by making more detailed settings. This section
explains the functions that can be set in Edit mode. In this
owner's manual, the process of modifying a setting is
referred to as "editing," and the item of data that is modified
is referred to as a "parameter."

■ About the Edit Modes

There are two edit modes—one saves settings individually
for each registration, while the other stores a single value to
be used by the entire system.
System Memory
The edit mode that stores things for the entire system deals
with the following:
• Organ rotary settings (p. 65)
• Percussion settings (p. 67)
• Organ voice settings (p. 68)
• Controller settings (p. 68)
• Orchestral Tones Controller settings (p. 71)
• MIDI settings (p. 74)
• Equalizer and other settings (p. 78)
• Control pedal settings (p. 58)
Registration Memory
The edit mode that stores things on an individual registration
basis deals with the following:
• Effect and other settings (p. 81)
• Pedal Sustain setting (p. 83)
• Pedal Attack settings (p. 83)
• Harmonic bars and other panel settings (p. 48)
• Split Point of lower keyboard (p. 46)
• Active Expression setting (p. 56)
NOTE
In the case of settings that are saved for each registration,
you must save the edited settings in a registration. If you
turn off the power without saving the edited settings to a
registration, your changes will be lost.

■ Basic Procedure

Here is the basic procedure for each edit mode.
→ For details, refer to the explanation for each edit mode.
1.
[BANK] button, and press the [***] button.
The indicators of the [1]–[8] buttons will blink.
The [***] button will be a different button depending on
the edit mode that you want to set. For details, follow the
procedure for each edit mode.
2.
Press one of the buttons from [1] through [8] to select
the parameter that you want to edit.
If there are more than eight parameters, you can access
all of them by switching the lit/dark state of the [BANK]
button.
3.
Turn the [VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob to adjust
the setting.
For parameters that are switched ON/OFF, turn the
[VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob toward the right to
switch the parameter ON, or toward the left to switch it
OFF.
For parameters that have an adjustable value, turn the
[VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob toward the right to
increase the value, or toward the left to decrease the
value.
At this time, the D Beam type indicator will show the
approximate value of the setting (p. 64).
If you press the VIBRATO AND CHORUS [UPPER]
button, the setting will return to the initial value.
4.
If you want to adjust another parameter in the same
edit mode, press [BANK] button and one of the [1]–[8]
buttons to select the parameter, and turn the
[VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob to edit the value.
When you want to stop editing, press the [H-BAR
MANUAL] button.
5.
Press the [WRITE] button to finalize the settings of the
parameters.
Parameter settings will be saved.
The indicators for the [1]–[8] buttons light up while the
settings are being saved.
6.
Parameters that are edited independently for each
registration are saved as part of the registration (p. 48).
