Section 2 - Getting Started
Edit Buffer
As
soon
as
you
change a parameter's value,
you
will notice
that
the
Edit LED begins flashing.
This
means
that
the you are
now
listening to a modified version of the algorithm
in
the
Edit
Buffer.
The Edit Buffer is a section of RAM where edits are temporarily stored.
By
pressing
the
Edit
button
you
can toggle between the original setting (LED solidly lit)
and
the
newly
edited
version (LED flashing) of that algorithm. What is visible
on
the display is
the
parameter
settings
that
you
hear.
Quick Tips and Shortcuts
38
Here
are
a few quick tips to find
your
way
around
the DP / 4.
Tip:
While
holding
down
either
the
Left
or
Right
Arrow
button,
press
Cancel-
Undo.
This is a great
way
to get to the
Algorithm
Select
parameter
in
Edit
mode
without
having
to scroll through lots of parameters.
Tip: While
holding
down
either the Left
or
Right
Arrow
button,
press
the
other
arrow
button.
This is useful
when
there are several different
parameters
on
the
screen
at
one
time,
and
you
want
get to the next screen without
having
to cursor
through
each
individual
parameter.
Tip: While
holding
down
either
the
Left
or
Right
Arrow
button,
tum
the
Data
Entry
Knob.
This lets
you
move
much
more quickly
through
a
long
list of
parameters
that
by
repeatedly pressing the arrow buttons.
Tip: Press the Cancel-
Undo
button. This will return
the
last
parameter
you
edited
to its original value,
but
only
as
long
as
you
still
have
that
parameter
selected.
If
have
you
scrolled to
another
parameter, this
undo
function will
no
longer work.
Tip:
If
you
accidentally change
the
algorithm
in
a
unit,
you
will
lose all
of
the
parameter
settings for the old algorithm unless
you
press
Cancel-
Undo
to recall
the
original algorithm
and
its parameters. You
must
press
Undo
before
scrolling to
another
parameter
or leaving Edit
mode
.
