Part 8: Editing Programs

PROGRAM EDIT FUNCTIONS

To edit a Program you must select Program Edit mode. This is done by pressing the [EDIT SELECT] once from Program Play Mode (each time you press [EDIT SELECT] in Program Mode, the display cycles between Program Edit and Effects Edit Modes). When editing a Program in Program Mode, the word "EDIT" will appear in the display’s mode section (lower-left corner):

As soon as you change a value, the word "EDIT" will change to "EDITED".

A Program may also be edited from within a Mix. This requires that you press the [EDIT SELECT] button twice from Mix Play Mode (each time you press [EDIT SELECT] in Mix Mode, the display cycles between Mix Edit, Program Edit and Effects Edit Modes). When editing a Program in Mix Mode, the words “MIXPROG EDIT” will appear in the display’s mode section (lower-left corner), and the channel number that is being edited will flash:

And again, as soon as you change a value, the word "EDIT" will change to "EDITED".

TIP: Now that we’re about to cover the various parameters in Program Edit mode, don’t forget the “Double-button push” trick! This is where you push both of the [VALUE] buttons or both of the [PAGE] buttons at the same time as a shortcut. You’ll find it detailed in Part 4: Basic Operation on page 35.
