Simple program editing

By operating the performance editor and the realtime con- trollers you can easily and intuitively modify the sound of a program.

Program editing refers to the process of modifying the parameters that make up a program, in order to modify the sound or change the controller, effect settings etc.

More detailed editing can be performed in Program P1: Edit-Basic – P9: Edit-Master Effect.

Performance Edit

By using the eight sliders of the Performance Editor, you can make overall adjustments to the sound. When you edit the setting, multiple program parameters are adjusted simultaneously.

1Press the [PROG] key (the LED will light) to enter Program mode.

2Press the Perf. Edit tab.

The Performance Edit page will appear.

3Select the Program.

4Select the Performance Editor, and use the VALUE controllers to edit the settings.

If you want to reset the value to the value saved with the selected program, press numeric key [0] and then press the [ENTER] key to restore the previous setting.

•Octave: Indicates the octave setting.

•Pitch Stretch: Simultaneously adjusts the transpose and tune settings of the oscillator. This allows you to produce a variety of tonal changes without losing the character of the original sound.

This is particularly effective for acoustic-type pro- grams such as guitar, bass, or piano. Select various programs and try this out.

“Pitch Stretch” cannot be used with bank INT-F.

•OSC Balance: Adjusts the level balance between oscillators 1 and 2.

For programs whose “Oscillator Mode” (Program P1: Edit-Basic, Program Basic page) setting is Single, oscillator 2 will not sound. Only the level of oscillator 1 will change. For a Drums program, this perfor- mance editor will have no effect.

•Amp Level: Indicates the amp level. This will adjust the volume of the entire program.

•Attack Time: Indicates the attack time of the filter EG and amp EG. This will adjust the speed of the attack from note-on.

In order to maximize the effect of the Attack Time adjustment, the amp EG Start Level, Attack Level, Start Level Modulation, and Attack Time Modulation parameters are also adjusted.

•Decay Time: Indicates the decay time and slope time of the filter EG and amp EG.

•IFX Balance: This simultaneously adjusts the “Wet/ Dry” balance of all insert effect.

•MFX Balance: This simultaneously adjusts the Return 1 and 2 parameters of the master effects.

Depending on the settings of the program parame- ters, the result may not be noticeable.

Realtime controls

The REALTIME CONTROLS [1]–[4] knobs can be used to edit parameters such as the filter cutoff frequency, reso- nance, the amp and filter EG, release, volume, portamento time, pan, pitch LFO, and master effect send level etc. (☞p.26).

If CC#70–79 are assigned to REALTIME CONTROLS A-mode or B-mode, the sound edited by knobs [1]–[4] can be saved by the Program Write operation.

Writing a program

The edited content will be lost if you select another program or turn off the power before saving.

If you want to save the modified sound, select the page menu command “Write Program,” and write the program. (☞p.56)

It is best to write your own edited programs into an ini- tial (initialized) program of bank INT-E or EXB-A– EXB-G. You should also give a new name to the pro- gram you are writing.

If you want to overwrite the program using the same program number, press the SEQUENCER [REC/ WRITE] key and then press the OK button.
