Compare—When editing a Program, press COMPARE to hear the saved version.
Turn C
OMPARE off to return to the edited version. COMPARE can also be used to
audition write destinations when moving a program.
Write—Press WRITE to save the program and write any edits to memory. You
can write the program to the same location or choose a different program
number using P
ARAM 1; PARAM 2 chooses the bank. Press INC/YES to confirm
the write and D
EC/NO (or WRITE again) to abort.
While there is a write pending, press C
OMPARE to hear the program in the target
destination prior to saving. Just be sure to turn C
OMPARE off before you actually
hit the I
NC/YES switch to save.
Param 1— Used to scroll through programs in program mode. In global mode,
used for scrolling through the global menu items.
Param 2—Used to change banks in program mode and edit the displayed
parameter in edit and global modes. There are eight banks of 128 programs: four
user banks (U1 through U4) and four factory banks (F1 through F4). The user
banks are initially copies of the factory banks, but any program—user or
factory—can be edited and saved to any location in the user banks. The factory
banks are read only and cannot be overwritten.
Note: To copy the factory banks to the user banks, hold C
OMPARE and
press 4
POLE. Be aware that this will overwrite any custom programs in
the user banks and all changes will be lost.
Inc/Yes and Dec/No—Increment or decrement programs in program mode or
values in edit mode and global mode. Also used to confirm or cancel/abort an
operation.
Push It—PUSH IT is a manual trigger. Its behavior depends upon the Push It
Mode, Note, and Velocity settings, which are programmable. Why is a manual
trigger necessary when there are already 44 other manual triggers (that is, the
keys)? It is surprsingly handy, especially in Toggle mode. It can be used to start
and stop the sequencer or to just latch a droning note on. And that frees up both
hands to twist knobs!
Tap Tempo—With SHIFT on, PUSH IT becomes TAP TEMPO for setting the
internal clock’s BPM.
If P
USH IT is set to Toggle mode and SEQUENCE and SHIFT are on, tap five times
to set the tempo and toggle the Push It Note on, starting the sequencer. That is, a
4-count to set the tempo and then a tap on beat 1 to start. To stop, turn S
HIFT off
and press P
USH IT again.
