PROGRAM EDIT FUNCTIONS
To edit a Program you must select Program Edit mode. This is done by pressing the
[EDIT] once from Program Play Mode (each time you press [EDIT] in Program Mode,
the display cycles between Program Edit and Effects Edit Modes). When editing a
Program in Program Mode, the letters “PROG EDIT” will appear in the display’s edit
status section (bottom-left corner).
A Program may also be edited from within a Mix. This requires that you press the
[EDIT SELECT] button twice from Mix Play Mode (each time you press [EDIT
SELECT] in Mix Mode, the display cycles between Mix Edit, Program Edit and
Effects Edit Modes). When editing a Program in Mix Mode, the letters “MIX PROG
EDIT” will appear in the display’s edit status section (upper-left corner), with the
channel number that is being edited immediately following.
VOICE
The Voice function is the most fundamental part of Program editing. It is where you
choose the particular sample that forms the basis of a sound. To avoid scrolling
through long lists of samples (remember, there are 8 megabytes of sounds in here!),
sounds are divided into groups. After selecting the group, you then select the sound
within the group.
Sound Enable Page 1
This is the master on/off switch for the selected sound (1–4) of the current Program.
To avoid using up polyphony unnecessarily, set Sound Enable to OFF for any
sounds that will not be used in a Program. Turning sounds off is also a convenient
way to isolate a particular sound you are editing. When the sound being edited is
disabled, the upper display will show the word “snd” in lowercase letters. When
the sound being edited is enabled, the word “SND” will appear in uppercase letters.
When editing a Program’s Sound that is in Drum Mode, a single letter will appear as
“S” when a sound is enabled, and “s” when disabled.
Sound Type Page 2
This determines whether a Sound layer is going to be in Keyboard Mode or Drum
Mode. Drum Mode allows you to assign individual drum sounds to individual keys.
To Program a sound in Drum Mode, refer to the next section “Programming Drum
Sounds” on page 78.
