MP-2 Modes
The MP-2 has three operating modes: Play, Program Edit and System Edit.
In Play mode, programs may be recalled for performance from the front panel or through
MIDI. The MP-2 is in Play mode whenever it is in neither Program Edit nor System Edit
mode. When neither the LEDs in the PRGM EDIT nor SYSTEM EDIT buttons are lit, the MP-
2 is in Play mode.
In Program Edit mode, all of the settings (also called parameters) contained in a program
can be adjusted. The MP-2 is in Program Edit mode when the LED in the PRGM EDIT button
is lit. (See page 42 for Reference information on Program Edit mode.)
In System Edit, settings that affect the entire MP-2 and are not stored as part of a program
are adjusted. There is only one location for these settings, so they are not stored and
recalled as programs are. System Edit mode also contains utilities that allow copying and
swapping of programs between locations and other useful functions. The MP-2 is in System
Edit mode when the LED in the SYSTEM EDIT button is lit. (See page 58 for Reference in-
formation on System Edit mode.)
MP-2 Display
The MP-2 conveys messages, questions, and parameter information through the display.
Play Mode
In Play mode, the display shows whether the MP-2 is running a User or Preset program, the
program bank and number, and its name.
Program Edit Mode
In Program Edit mode, the display shows one or more parameters in the currently selected
section along with their values. The cursor indicates which parameter is currently selected
for editing. Arrows in the upper left and/or lower right corners indicate that there are other
parameter screens in that section.Parameter screens are explained on page 24 in the Editing
Basics discussion.
