Basic Operation

Using Data Storage Functions

2.Press Save > Select Seq.

The sequence number becomes the active function. The signal generator displays the last sequence used. Using the arrow keys, set the sequence to 1.

3.Press Select Reg.

The register number in sequence 1 becomes the active function. The signal generator displays either the last register used accompanied by the text: (in use), or (if no registers are in use) register 00 accompanied by the text: (available). Use the arrow keys to select register 01.

4.Press Save Seq[1] Reg[01].

This saves this instrument state in sequence 1, register 01 of the instrument state register.

5.Press Add Comment to Seq[1] Reg[01].

This enables you to add a descriptive comment to sequence 1 register 01.

6.Using the alphanumeric softkeys or the knob, enter a comment and press Enter.

7.Press Edit Comment In Seq[1] Reg[01].

If you wish, you can now change the descriptive comment for sequence 1 register 01.

After making changes to an instrument state, highlighting that register and pressing Re-SAVE

Recalling an Instrument State

you can save it back to a specific register by Seq[n] Reg[nn].

Using this procedure, you will learn how to recall instrument settings saved to an instrument state register.

1.Press Preset.

2.Press the Recall hardkey.

Notice that the Select Seq softkey shows sequence 1. (This is the last sequence that you used.)

3.Press RECALL Reg.

The register to be recalled in sequence 1 becomes the active function. Press the up arrow key once to select register 1. Your stored instrument state settings should have been recalled.

Deleting Registers and Sequences

These procedures describe how to delete registers and sequences saved to an instrument state register.

Deleting a Specific Register within a Sequence

1.Press Preset.

2.Press the Recall or Save hardkey.

Notice that the Select Seq softkey shows the last sequence that you used.

3. Press Select Seq and enter the sequence number containing the register you want to delete.
