Writing the Global parameters
Settings that affect all programs in common, such as MIDI settings, are made in Global mode.
When you turn on the power, the Global mode data will be called into the internal Global mode memory area.
When you edit a parameter in Global mode, the data in this memory area will change.
If you want the edited data to be saved in internal memory, you must write it.
If you turn off the power before writing the Global parameters, the edited data in the memory area will be lost. If this occurs, the data prior to your editing will be recalled the next time the power is turned on.

MIDI data dump
The programs and global settings in internal memory can be transmitted as MIDI exclusive data, and saved on a connected external device such as a data filer. For details, refer to “MIDI data dump” (p.37).
8. Editing
You can edit the tone or name of the selected program. When editing a program, it is a good idea to start by selecting the program that is closest to what you have in mind, and make your changes from there.
This section explains some simple ways to edit.
If you select another program or turn off the power before writing your edited settings, the changes will be lost. For details, refer to “Writing a program” (p.19).

3.Use the [-] [+] keys to select the desired setting.
Vintage includes leakage noise. This is noise caused by signal leakage from the tone wheel, and is a characteristic part of the sound of a tone wheel organ. Clean contains no leakage noise.
4.Press the [®] key once to access the “DB
LevelCurve” parameter, and use the
