About the Edit Buffer

When you select a program or combination in Program P0: Play and Combination P0: Play, the program or combi- nation data is called into the “edit buffer.”

When you modify the parameters in P0: Play or in the Edit pages P1–P9 of Program mode or Combination mode, the changes you make will affect the data in the edit buffer.

If you wish to save this modified data into internal mem- ory, you must perform the Write operation.

When you perform the Write operation, the data in the edit buffer is written to the specified program number or combination number of the specified bank.

If you select another program or combination without writing, the data of the newly selected program or combi- nation will be called into the edit buffer, and your changes will be lost.

When you press the [COMPARE] key in Program mode or Combination mode, the data from memory (i.e., the contents that were written into memory) will be temporarily called into the edit buffer. This allows you to compare the settings you are editing with the original un-edited settings.

					Editing applies to the data in the edit
					buffer. Programs or combinations will
					play according to the data in the edit
					buffer.

Writing global settings, user drum kits, and user arpeggio patterns

The settings you edit in Global mode can be written into internal memory. This is done using the operations Write Global Setting, Write User Drum Kits, and Write User Arpeggio Patterns. If you wish to use these edited set- tings after you turn the power off, be sure to write the data first.

There are two ways to write global settings, user drum kits, and user arpeggio patterns.

Before you write a user drum kit or user arpeggio pattern, the Global mode memory protect setting must be turned off (☞“Memory protect”).

The user arpeggio pattern parameter settings “Tempo,” “Pattern,” “Octave,” “Resolution,” “Sort,” “Latch,” “Key Sync,” and “Keyboard” are set inde- pendently in the Program, Combination, and Song modes. These settings are not saved when you per- form the Write operation described here.

If you have edited these parameters in Program or Combination mode you must return to that mode to write them.

Using a page menu command to write

1To write global settings (the various settings in Glo- bal P0–P4), press the page menu command “Write Global Setting” in Global P0–P4.

The Write Global Setting dialog box will appear.

To write user drum kits, press the page menu com- mand “Write Drum Kits” in Global P5.

The Write Drum Kits dialog box will appear.

To write user arpeggio patterns, press the page menu command “Write Arpeggio Patterns” in Global P6.

The Write Arpeggio Patterns dialog box will appear.

The same dialog box will also appear if, in each of the above pages, you hold down the [ENTER] key and press the [0] key.

2To execute the Write operation, press the OK button. To cancel, press the Cancel button.

When you press the OK button, the display will ask “Are you sure?” Press the OK button once again to write the data.
