PLAY-CONTROL

6. CONTROL

This function sets up the program's controller handling.
Press the PLAY button and then the [F6] button to enter the
CONTROL mode.
4 display pages are provided: PgmCtrlA (Program Control
A), PgmCtrlB (Program Control B), ChSetup (Channel Setup,
and PgmLFO (Program LFO).
• See "Basic Operation" on page 78 for details on acessing the vari-
ous display pages.
• When the program mode is set to "Multi" (page 89), the master pro-
gram control settings take priority (the master program is the pro-
gram selected for the part assigned to the basic channel). If a
control function is accessed when any other part is selected "Not a
Master Part" will appear on the display. If this happens select an
appropriate part via the PLAY-PROGRAM-PgmSel page (page 89),
and then use the control functions.
