2. About the programs
The BX-3 contains 128 preset programs (64 for Normal
mode, and 64 for EX mode).
In both Normal mode and EX mode, the programs are
organized into banks A–H, with eight programs in each
bank.
How a program is structured
A preset program consists of the following four types of
setting.
1) Organ sound settings (tone wheel selection, etc.)
2) Drawbar parameter settings
3) Effect settings
4) Front panel key settings
Each program contains its own settings. When you switch
programs, the parameter settings of the selected program
will be used.
The drawbar parameter settings saved within each
program are used if [DRAWBAR PRESET] is selected in
the front panel DRAWBAR SELECT section. If you have
selected either [DRAWBAR 1] or [DRAWBAR 2] in the
DRAWBAR SECTION, the front panel Drawbar 1 or
Drawbar 2 settings will be used.
The front panel key settings saved within each program
are used if the Global mode Group 1 “Prg.Chng” param-
eter is set to All Params. If the “Prg.Chng” parameter is
set to Int. Params, the state of the front panel keys will be
used, meaning that the state of the front panel keys will
not change when you switch programs.
3. Restoring the factory
settings
The BX-3 lets you re-initialize either the programs or the
Global parameters back to their original factory settings.
Use this procedure if you have accidentally overwritten a
preset program, or want to return to the original factory
settings.
Initialization can be performed on the following four
types of data:
• One program
• All programs
• Global parameters
• All program parameters and Global parameters
Restoring the factory settings will erase any edits or
changes you may have made to the data.
