The Setup Editor

14. Press the Right cursor button; the display prompts you to rename the setup. Press Yes.

15. Press Zone 3 repeatedly until you've erased the entire name. (This is optional; you can

also write over each existing character in turn, if you prefer. You can also press Zone 1

to switch a letter from upper to lower case and back. Press Zone 2 to insert a space at the

cursor and move the remaining characters to the right, or press Zone 4 to move the

cursor to the end of the name.)

16. Enter a name that you can remember, because we'll refer to it in later examples. Use the

Alpha Wheel or the Category and Program select buttons to insert characters and the

cursor buttons move the cursor. We'll call this setup Piano&Strings. Refer to Naming and

Storing on page 4-2 if you need a reminder about naming objects.

17. When you've entered the name, press Yes. The Save prompt returns. Press Yes again to

save the setup. The display tells you that the setup is saved, the returns you to Setup

mode.

Setting Initial Volume Levels for Different Zones

Suppose you want the program in one zone of a setup to be at a lower volume than the others.

We'll edit our two-zone setup to lower the volume of the strings.

Start with Setup 129 Piano&Strings, which we created in the previous example.

Press Edit, then press the Right cursor button until you see the Controllers menu. Press

Enter. The display probably looks like this:

Notice that the cursor is under the "1" in "127," indicating that this is the current

parameter. (In this case, it doesn't really matter, since there's only one parameter visible.

Sometimes, however, there's more than one parameter visible, in which case you can

use the cursor buttons to move the cursor under the parameter you want to edit.)

Using the Alpha Wheel, change the value to 75.

Press Store to display the Save dialog. Notice that the display prompts you to replace

Setup 129. We don't want to do this.

Turn the Alpha Wheel one click to the right; the display prompts you to save Setup 130.

Rename the setup as EntryVol, and save it at ID 130.

Many of the factory programs use Knobs A and B to control the Wet/Dry mix of the effects

assigned to FX-A and FX-B. The setups in these examples don't use either of these knobs.

Our next example creates a setup that uses Knob A to control FX-A's Wet/Dry mix (but only in

Zone 1), and Knob B to control FX-B's Wet/Dry mix (but only in Zone 2). By using variations on

this procedure, you can make a single knob control different functions in each zone of a setup, or

use different knobs to control the same function in different zones.
