Useful Functions for Editing

The VC-1 provides numerous ways in which you can edit your own patches more conveniently.

Editing a Value

To edit a value, you can use the VALUE dial, [INC/+] or [DEC/-].In each VC-1 screen, you can select a value using the cursor as described earlier, and modify its value. Each parameter has its own range of possible values. You CANNOT set any value smaller than the minimum value or greater than the maximum value.

Cursor Buttons

Press [ ], [ ], [ ], or [ ] (the cursor buttons) to move the cursor.

VALUE dial

Turning the VALUE dial clockwise increases the value, and turning it counterclockwise decreases its value.

Hold down [SHIFT] as you move the VALUE dial to increase value increments to make large value changes more quickly.

[INC/+] and [DEC/-]

Press [INC/+] to increase the selected value, and [DEC/-]to decrease it.

Keep the button pressed for continuous adjustment.

For faster value increases, keep [INC/+] pressed down and press [DEC/-]. To decrease values quickly, keep

[DEC/-]pressed down and press [INC/+].

Hold down [SHIFT] while using [INC/+] or [DEC/-], the value will change in larger steps.

Undoing an editing Operation

The Undo function returns the current value of the parameter to the original value before being edited. This only refers to the last parameter that has been adjusted.

1.In the upper right of the screen, touch < >. A pulldown menu appears.

2.In the pulldown menu, touch <UNDO>.
