VALUE entry
VALUE slider
Use this when you wish to make major changes
in the value.
In Program mode and Combination mode, this
slider can also be used as a control source for
alternate modulation or dynamic modulation.
(This is active in Program or Combination P0:
Play when the “Program Select” or
“Combination Select” (the large characters in the
upper part of the LCD) is selected).
/
buttons
Use these when you wish to make small changes
in the value.
VALUE dial
Use this when you wish to make large changes in
a value.
Numeric keys 0–9, ENTER, –, (.)
Use these when you know the parameter value that you wish
to input.
After using the numeric keys 0–9 to input a number, press
the ENTER switch to finalize the parameter value.
Use the – switch to enter negative numbers.
Use the (.) switch to enter a decimal point.
BANK I–A…G, U–A…G buttons
The BANK I–A…G, U–A…G buttons are used in Program
mode to select the program bank and in Combination mode
to select the combination bank. In combination, and
Sequencer modes, these switches are used to select the bank
of the program used by each timbre/track.
COMPARE switch
Use this when you wish to compare the edits you have made
to a program or combination’s sound with the un-edited
original (i.e., the sound that is written into memory).
When editing a program or combination, press this switch.
The LED will light, and the last-written settings for that
program number or combination number will be recalled.
When you press the COMPARE switch once again, the LED
will go dark and you will return to the settings that you were
editing.
If you edit the settings that are recalled by pressing the
COMPARE switch (i.e., the settings that are written into
memory), the LED will go dark, and it will not be possible to
return to the previous edits by pressing the COMPARE
switch again.
In Sequencer mode, you can use the COMPARE switch to
make “before and after” comparisons immediately after
using realtime recording or step recording to record a song,
or after performing a track edit operation.
For example, this can be used effectively when realtime-
recording a track for a song.
1. Realtime-record a MIDI track. (Take 1)
2. Once again, realtime-record on the same track. (Take
2)
3. Press the COMPARE switch. The LED will light, and
take 1 will be recalled.
4. Press the COMPARE switch once again. The LED will
go dark, and take 2 will be recalled.
5. If at step 3 you once again realtime-record on the
same track (take 3), the object of the Compare
function will now be take 1.
If at step 4 you once again realtime-record on the same track
(take 3), the object of the Compare function will be take 2.
In this way, the Compare function lets you recall the
previous recording or the previous state of event editing.
The Compare function does not work in Global mode, with
the exception of Sampling, Disk, Wave Sequence, and Drum
Kit editing.
Popup buttons and popup menus
You can press a popup button to access a popup menu, and
then set parameter values.
Keyboard input
When entering a note number or a specific velocity as the
value of a parameter, you can use the keyboard to input the
setting. Hold down the ENTER switch and play the note that
you wish to enter as a value. The note number or velocity
value will be input.
When the Global P5: Drum Kit page is displayed, you can
hold down the ENTER switch and play a note to recall the
settings that have been assigned to that note. (If the
parameter you’ve selected expects you to enter a velocity
value, the velocity you played will be entered.)
In Sampling mode, you can hold down the ENTER switch
and play a note to recall the index that is assigned to that
note.
