General Operation

Finding Functions & Parameters

To facilitate access to the many functions provided, the EDIT and UTILITY mode

functions are organized into logical groups arranged in a hierarchical structure (the PLAY

mode is simple enough that it doesn’t require this type of structure). The basic structure

of the EDIT mode, for example, looks like this:

EDIT MODE

ELEMENT

EFFECT

CONTROLLER

MODIFIER

ENVELOPE

COMMON

MISCELLANEOUS

MISCELLANEOUS

Here you can see that the EDIT mode functions are divided into two main groups:

COMMON and ELEMENT, and that these are further sub-divided into related groups of

functions. The COMMON EFFECT group, for example, includes all the effect parameters

(flange, reverb, etc.) that apply to the entire voice. Here’s how you would access the

reverb parameters, starting from the PLAY mode:

● Example: Locate the Effect Reverb Parameters

1.

 Press 

E

Pressing the E button from the PLAY or UTILITY mode will normally take

you to the initial EDIT display page (if the current voice has already been edited but not

stored, you will automatically return to the last EDIT mode page that was selected).

2.

 Press 

¡ (“

Com

”)

Since you want the effect functions, which are in the common group, press the ¡

function button (immediately below “

Com

” on the display).
