Comparing
Copying
While you are editing a voice, you can use the Compare function to compare the
voice's new sound against its original sound.
When you start the compare operation, the keyboard sound temporarily reverts to the
sound of the original (unedited) voice. The displayed parameter values and the red
LEDs along the right of the Quick Edit sliders also return to their unedited status. A
mark appears in front of the voice number on the screen to indicate that you are
currently in Compare mode, and the cursor shape changes to an underline.
Important
• Editing functions are disabled during comparison.
• The Compare function will not operate if you have not yet edited the voice.
FYI
• You can combine Quick Edit and Compare functions to achieve dynamic sound changes
during live performance. First use the Quick Edit functions to change the sound of the voice,
then toggle the Compare function on and off to switch back and forth between the edited and
unedited sounds.
• The comparison function remains available during the storing procedure, so that you can
compare voice names, categories, and comments.
Procedure
1. During (the course of) editing, press
The LED above the button begins to blink.
2. Play (at) the keyboard to reproduce the original sound.
3. Press to return to the editing process.
