This section contains all the knobs & buttons associated with the Part Edit Section.
Level - Knob
This knob adjusts the level of the currently selected Program. In Program mode this knob controls the "gain" of the Program. This
can be considered to be similar to "gain" on a mixers channel. Use this knob in Program mode to set the headroom of the
Program. If the Program has to much level in Program mode, distortion will occur in all Program & Performance mode. In
Performance mode this knob controls the "level" of the Program. This can be considered to be similar to "Volume" slider on a mix-
ers channel. If the Program is distorting regardless of the setting of this knob in Performance mode, the Program mode "level" is
set to high. Select the distorting Program in Program mode & adjust this parameter until distortion ceases & rewrite the Program to
memory. Then it will stop distorting in Performance mode. Fully anticlockwise the Program is not heard. Turning the knob clockwise
turns the volume of the currently selected Program up. The range of this parameter is 000 to 127. This parameter is memorised
with a Program in Program Mode or memorised with Performance in Performance Mode.
NOTE:
NOTE:
If a Program or Performance is distorting, it most likely because the "Level" of the Program is to high. Try reducing the level until
distortion ceases.
