Editing program parameters

Programs consist of a large number of parameters. In order to create a program from scratch, you will need to under- stand all of these parameters. Instead of this, we suggest that you select a factory preset program, and try editing it in order to understand each parameter.

Basic editing procedures

The basic procedures for editing are explained below. You can edit a program in Program Play mode or in LCD Edit mode.

1. Editing in Program Play mode

In Program Play mode, you can not only select and play a program, but also use the front panel knobs and keys to edit the sound of the program as you play, for example by adjusting the filter cutoff or slightly slowing the attack.

The parameters that correspond to each key will change value or be switched on/off each time you press the key, and their status will be shown by the LED or in the LCD screen.

The parameters that correspond to each knob can be adjusted in “analog” fashion as indicated by the markings around the knob.

For both knobs and keys, the ORIGINAL VALUE LED will light when their setting matches the original written value.

2. Editing in LCD Edit mode

Use LCD Edit mode to edit parameters for which there is no knob or key, or to edit while checking the parameter value in the LCD screen.

a. Enter LCD Edit mode

●Press the [EDIT] key.

You will enter LCD Edit mode. The upper line of the LCD screen will show the page number and the page name. The lower line will show the parameter name and value.

LCD Edit mode consists of multiple pages. Use the PAGE [+][–] keys and the SELECT [1]–[16] keys to select pages.

Each time you press the key, the next or previous page will appear.

There are some pages to which the SELECT [1]–[16] keys do not correspond. To access such a page, use the SELECT [1]–[16] keys in conjunction with the PAGE [+][–] keys. For example if you wish to access Page 11A: EG 2 “Attack” in the LCD screen, press the SELECT [8] key and then press the PAGE [+] key.
