Edit Recall - Korg POLYSIX M Owner's Manual

To store the program in group 1, program A1 instead:
(1) Press WRITE. WRITE starts flashing.
(2) Select memory group 1 by holding MANUAL and pressing 1. 1 starts to flash indicating memory group 1.
(3) Release MANUAL.
(4) Press A to select bank A.
(5) Finally press 1 to store the program. The WRITE LED will go out.
If the wrong group or bank is selected, simply move the WRITE switch to the WRITE DISABLE position and then
back to the WRITE ENABLE position, causing the WRITE LED to go out. Then restart the operation.
In this manual program numbers will be referred to as, for instance, 3C4 meaning "memory group 3, bank C,
program 4".

4) EDIT RECALL

Imagine the following situation:
You have created wondrous new sound by editing program 1A4. By mistake you press 5 causing the synthesizer
to immediately call up program 1A5 and erasing your hard worked edit.
In order to avoid this type of frustration the latest edit is saved in a special memory location in the machine, the
edit recall buffer. This is indicated by the MANUAL LED flashing. In order to recall the latest edit at any time:
(1) Press and hold MANUAL.
(2) Press 8. MANUAL will start flashing and the edited sound will be fetched for continued editing.
Example:
Assume program 2B4 is a string patch. Upon selecting this patch you notice that the release time is a bit too
short. Adjust this using the RELEASE knob. By doing this the sound is also copied into the EDIT RECALL buffer,
this is indicated by MANUAL flashing. You now want to save your new patch to another program location, but do not
know which locations are free. Thanks to the EDIT RECALL function it is now possible to examine the other
programs while the edit is kept safe in the edit recall buffer. Eventually you find that 4D5 is available. In order to
fetch the edit hold MANUAL and press 8. The edited string patch is now fetched from the edit recall buffer and
MANUAL begins to flash to indicate that an edit sound is being heard. After this the patch can be stored at the
memory location as usual.
To sum up:
- As soon as a patch is edited it is saved in an edit recall buffer.
- The contents of the buffer can be retrieved at any time using MANUAL-8.
However, note that if you press MANUAL (on its own) in order to make the front panel 'live' (the MANUAL LED
lights up), changes are not saved in the edit recall buffer. There is no need since the patch is available on the panel
itself and can be retrieved simply by pressing MANUAL.
Additionally, please note that only changes made to the VCO, VCF, VCA, MG, EG, and EFFECTS parameters
are saved in the edit recall buffer since the settings of the other knobs and switches are not part of a program patch.
