EDIT PART

Whilst it is possible to edit level, pan, effects send, tuning and other 'superficial' program parameters
within a part, sometimes you need to delve further into a sound. Maybe a string part's attack is too
slow and it's not sitting well in the track or maybe its release is too long causing it to 'blur' the part.
Maybe a piano is too bright or a synth bass has too much (or not enough) resonance. This level of
editing is done in EDIT PROGRAM.
However, in cases like this, you may need to hear the other parts playing as you adjust program
parameters - in the example of the string attack, you will want to hear the track playing so as to
adjust the attack time in context until the part is sitting correctly in the track.
This is done using EDIT PART.
This is slightly different to EDIT PROGRAM. When using EDIT PART, all editing is done within the
context of the current multi and as you edit the program, you can also hear the other parts playing.
You could use EDIT PROGRAM if you wanted to but the program would be heard in isolation and
out of context making adjustment potentially difficult.
To edit a part at the program level, first select the part you want to edit and press EDIT PART (F8).
You will be taken to a variation of the EDIT PROGRAM screens where you may edit the sound at
the program level. Functionally, EDIT PART and EDIT PROGRAM are almost identical except for
the following points:
In EDIT PART, you hear and edit the program in the context of the current multi (in EDIT
PROGRAM you hear it in isolation and out of context).
In EDIT PART, you cannot select another program for editing (in EDIT PROGRAM, any program
can be selected and edited).
Please see the section EDIT PROGRAM for more details on program editing.
