Comparing an Edited Sound to the Original
If a Sound has been edited (the display reads E), it may be compared to
the original version. In other words, without losing the edited version of a
Sound, you can go into Compare mode and listen to the SoundÕs original,
stored version, then exit Compare mode to listen to the edited version.
To toggle between Edited and Compare modes:
1Press the
COMPARE
button.
Each time the button is pressed, the left-most character in the display toggles
between E (Edited) and C (Compare).
If a Sound hasnÕt been edited, Compare mode wonÕt do anything, of course.
While in Compare mode, you can move around the parameter matrix (i.e.
press the Row Select buttons and turn the Control Knobs) to examine the
original stored settings, but you wonÕt be able to edit them.
TIP You can use Compare mode to select other Sounds in the User Bank
in order to find a suitable location for the Sound youÕve been
editing. When you change Sounds (A-D) and/or Banks (01-32) while
in Compare mode, youÕll be able to hear the Sound stored in that
location without losing the changes youÕve made to the Sound you
were editing. Once you find a suitable location (i.e., a lame patch)
to store the edited Sound into, just press STORE SOUND twice (see
below) and the edited Sound will be stored into the displayed
location.
Storing Edited Sounds
Once youÕve made changes to a Sound, you need to store the Sound into
one of the User Banks if you want to keep the changes. The User Banks
hold up to 128 Sounds (01Ð32, AÐD). When you try to store an edited
Preset Sound, the same numbered User Sound location is automatically
selected. In other words, if you edited Sound B of the Preset Bank 12 and
tried to store it, Sound B of User Bank 12 will automatically be the stored
location. If you want to store your Sound to a different location, select a
different Sound (AÐD) and/or different User Sound Bank (01Ð32) before
storing.
To Store an Edited Sound into the same Sound location:
1Press
STORE SOUND
twice.
No, this isnÕt the button you press to get that sound you heard in the music
store! The display will briefly read Std, to show the Sound has been stored!
