PRESET NAME
In order to identify your preset easily, you should name it carefully with a description of its function. The name can be up to 12 characters in length. Press the ENTER button to begin editing the preset name. The cursor jumps to the first letter which can now be changed using the +/- Value buttons. You can use both small case or capital letters as well as special characters. To move the cursor to the right or back to the left by one character, use the +/- Parameter buttons. While in this edit mode some of the buttons on the front panel have special functions:
The GLOBAL button changes to capital letters, jumping directly to capital ‘A’.
The UTIL button changes to small case letters, jumping directly to small case ‘a’.
The CHAIN button changes to special characters, jumping directly to ‘!’. The PRESET button changes the presently selected character to a space. The STORE button provides for an insert function, allowing you to insert a character at the cursor position, and displacing all the characters after it one position to the right. The last character (at position 12) will be overwritten. The EDIT button provides a delete function, deleting the character at the cursor and moving all characters to its right one position to the left. A space is then inserted at the end of the string.
The EXIT button allows you to leave the Text Editor.
STRING MODE
String Mode (COM, SEP)
String mode allows you to decide how the various strings of your instrument/Bass are assigned to MIDI channels:
COM
In COMMON mode all the strings of your instrument are assigned to the basic MIDI channel. To avoid conflict of strings that continue sounding when you play new ones, no pitchbend information is sent in this mode, when more than one note are played simultaneously. Solo playing is still possible, although somewhat limited. If your MIDI instrument can only receive on one channel, you should set STRING MODE to COM. In the same way, some sequencer software programs only allow recording on one channel at a time. In this case you should set STRING MODE to COM.
