Editing the parameters
Parameters can be controlled from the SD-80's panel only in GM2 mode and Native mode.
Of the parameters that can be controlled from the SD-80, only MFX settings that were edited in Native
mode can be saved within the SD-80 as a user patch ("Saving a patch" (p. 50)).
Chorus/reverb settings and part parameters will be lost when the SD-80 is powered-off. We recommend
that you store these settings in a sequencer program or on an external MIDI sequencer, by using
individual data transmission ("Writing/loading SD-80 settings" (p. 69)).
Editing part parameters
You can change the way in which the sound selected for a part will be heard, to adjust the sound ideally
for your performance. Part parameters include parameters that adjust the volume, tonal character, and
pitch.
