Pro 3 User’s Guide
Editing Programs
It’s also useful to be able to check the value of a parameter for reference.
Normally, to make a parameter value appear in the display, you have to
turn the parameter’s knob — which will change the parameter value. But
there is a way to do this without changing the value:
To check the value of a parameter without changing it:
1. Press the show button.
2. Turn any parameter knob. The value appears in the display.
3. To return to normal operation, press the show button again to disable it.

Creating a Program from Scratch
An existing program can be very useful as a jumping off point for new
sounds. But it’s also useful (and educational) to create a new sound from
scratch. The Pro 3 makes this easy by providing a “basic preset” that you
can quickly recall at any time. This preset is very simple, with a single
oscillator as its basis.
To recall the basic program:
1. Press the global button.
2. Use Soft Knob 1 to scroll through the commands and select basic
program in the display menu.
3. Press soft button 1 (write now). The current sound settings are reset to
the basic program.
4. Press the global button again to return to normal operation. From here
you can begin creating your own sound using the basic program as a
starting point.
