22 Original Value
If you tweak and turn the knobs on a Voice for any length of time, you’re going to come up with a Voice that’s
VERY different from the one you started out with. And at some point in the editing process, you might wish
you could take a peek at the original settings — without erasing your new ones, of course — just to see how
far you’ve strayed.
This is where the Original Value function can help. Similar to Show Value (in Tip 21 above), Original Value
lets you view any of the originally programmed Voice-related settings — simply by turning a knob or press-
ing a button.

1 While you’re editing the Voice of a Pattern, hold down [SHIFT] and press

the [ORIGINAL VALUE] button.

2 Turn the knob or press the button of the parameter whose value or set-

ting you’d like to see.

For example, to see the original Cutoff value that’s been set for the Voice, turn the [CUTOFF] knob.
Original Value can be used with all the same knobs and buttons as Show Value. For details, see Tip 21
above.

3 Press the [EXIT] button to return to normal operation.

Trade Secrets
Use Show Value to pick the brains of our programmers. Do you have a favorite Voice and
would like to find out its settings? Just call up Show Value and take a peek behind the curtain.
Show Value
Allows you to check the current value or set-
ting of a Voice-related parameter, without
changing the value or setting. Press the
[SHOW VALUE] button, then turn the appro-
priate knob or press the appropriate button.
The current value/setting is displayed. While
Show Value is active, the Voice cannot be
played and the Pattern controls cannot be
used. Press the [EXIT] button to return to
normal operation.
All of the indicated controls
can be used with the Show
Value function. (Original Value,
too. — See Tip 22 below.)
Display flashes and indicates the
originally set value for the param-
eter (in this case, Cutoff).
