Novation Nova Owner's Manual page 38

MODE SECTION
NOTE: NOTE:
While the Compare button is held, it is also possible to inspect any of the original Program's knob parameters - simply adjust any
knob while the Compare button is being held. The display will show for a short while the value of the original Program's setting
then revert back to the last edited parameter. No knob parameter can actually be altered while the Compare button is held.
NOTE: NOTE:
If you wish to inspect the value of a modified Program knob parameter (rather than the original Program), simply follow the above
procedure, & once you have finished turning the relevant knob, release the Compare button quickly before the temporary display
disappears. As soon as the Compare button is released, the temporary display will revert to showing the current modified
Program's parameter rather than the original Program's parameter
NOTE: NOTE:
In the "Write" phase, the Compare button performs a different function to it's normal operation. The Compare button in this mode
toggles between the currently edited Performance or Program & the destination Performance or Program. When the destination
Program or Performance is selected, the Program and/or Performance buttons will flash & the Compare button will be lit indicating
that the sound currently being produced by the Nova is the original still stored in memory.
Global - Button
The Global Mode has all the parameters that effect the "Global" operation of the Nova. This mode is accessed by pressing the
Global button.
NOTE:
NOTE:
When any Global data is written into memory, the currently selected Program or Performance will become the "Power Up" sound.
i.e. the sound the Nova defaults to when switched on.
When this button is pressed a series of pages is available on the display containing parameters relevant to this section.
In the Global Mode there are 18 pages available. These are selected using the Page Up & Page Down buttons to the left of the
display.
There are a maximum of 2 parameters displayed on any page. One for each line on the display. The "Fast Data" Knobs on the right
of the display are used to alter these parameters values.
Page 1 looks like so:
Master tune
Global MIDI chan
As can be seen the higher parameter is "Master tune". In this case with a value of +00.
This parameter determines Global tuning of Nova. Use the higher Fast Data knob to adjust this parameter. The range of this
parameter is -64 to +63 cents. This parameter is memorised as Global.
NOTE: NOTE:
To write any changes to this parameter into memory press the "Write" button while in this mode. Also note the "Memory Protect"
has to be set to "Off" for this to be possible.
As can be seen the lower parameter is "Global MIDI chan". In this case with a value of 1.
This parameter determines the Global MIDI Channel for the Nova. This Channel is used when in Program Mode & for transmission
& reception of Sysex data . Use the Lower Fast Data knob to adjust this parameter. The range of this parameter is 1 to 16.
This parameter is memorised as Global.
