About the Edit Buffer

When you select a program or combination in Program P0: Play and Combination P0: Play, the program or combination data is called into the “edit buffer.” When you modify the parameters in P0: Play or in the edit pages P1–P9, the changes you make will affect the data in the edit buffer.

If you wish to save this modified data into internal memory, 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 combination will be called into the edit buffer, and your changes will be lost.

When you press the front panel [COMPARE] key in the edit pages P1–P9 of Program mode or Com- bination 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 Drum Kits, and Write Arpeggio Patterns. If you wish to use these settings after turning the power off, be sure to write the data.

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 settings “Tempo,” “Pat- tern,” “Octave,” “Resolution,” “Sort,” “Latch,” “Key Sync,” and “Keyboard” are parameters that are set independently in Program, Combination, Song, and Song Play mode. These settings are not saved when you perform the Write operation described here.

If you moved from Program or Combination mode and set these parameters, you must return to the original mode and write them.
