PARAMETER

•Edit Mode. The upper-left section of the display will indicate the Edit Mode which is currently selected (ED: MIX = Mix Edit Mode, ED:PRG = Program Edit Mode, ED:GLOBAL = Global Edit Mode). The Edit Mode is selected using the [EDIT SELECT] button. In the example above, Program Edit Mode is selected.

•Editing Status. The upper-middle section of the display indicates what you are editing. This information will change depending on the Edit Mode you have selected. Example: If you are in Mix Edit Mode, you can choose to edit any of the 16 Channels by pressing one of the [0] – [9] or [00] – [50] buttons; the display will indicate the channel like this: ED:MIX CHAN 01. If you are in Program Edit Mode, you can choose which of the Program’s 4 sounds you wish to edit by pressing one of the [00] – [30] buttons; the display will indicate the channel like this: ED:PRG SOUND1. In the example above, Sound 1 is selected for editing.

•Page. In many cases when a Function is selected for editing, there will be more than one parameter associated with it. Each parameter is divided into “pages”.

The upper-right corner of the display will indicate the currently selected page number (πå – π∫). The number of pages available depends on the Function you have selected to edit. In the example above, page 1 is currently selected.

•Parameter. The lower section will display the parameter which is currently selected and its setting. Once you have selected an Edit Mode, you may select an editing Function by pressing one of the [0] – [9] or [00] – [120] buttons, depending on which Edit Mode you are in. The editing Function is written in blue type above or below the number keys. For example, the [60] button accesses the LEVEL functions in Mix Edit Mode, the MOD functions in Effects Edit Mode, and the PITCH functions in Program Edit Mode. Each Function has one or more parameters in its Function Group. Once a Function is selected, the last

parameter in that Function’s Group will appear in the lower section of the display.

You can step through all the parameter’s in a Function’s Group by using the [ PAGE] and [PAGE] buttons or make coarse adjustments quickly by moving the CONTROLLER [D] slider. In the example above, the Sound Enable parameter is selected, and is turned on.
