4. Turn the Value knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to change the parameterÕs setting.
5. If youÕre editing a standard ZR-76 sound, you can now set the selected parameter to any value you
like. For a full description of the editing options available for the ZR-76 sounds, see ÒWorking with the
SoundFinder ParametersÓ later in this chapter.
If the sound youÕre editing is a drum kit sound, the following message may appear:
Read-only! Overwrite
SongEditKit to edit?
6. If youÕd like to proceed, press the Yes button and set the selected parameterÕs value to any setting you
wish. If youÕre unclear about what the displayed question means, pause a moment and see ÒEditing
ZR-76 Drum Kit Sounds,Ó later in this chapter.

SoundFinder can respond to incoming MIDI, and can generate outgoing MIDI data for
use in controlling external MIDI devices. These capabilities are described in ÒSoundFinder
MIDI,Ó later in this chapter. Many of the ZR-76 SoundFinder parameters may also be edited
via MIDIÑsee the parameter descriptions and procedures later in this chapter for details.

Each ZR-76 sound is programmed on a computer using the supplied Unisyn editing software. This
software allows the programming of the individual layers within each sound (see Chapter 12 for details).
The SoundFinder parameters let you quickly alter this programming in two ways. The parameters offer:
¥ overrides, which set all of the layers in the currently selected sound to the absolute value you set
¥ offsets, which raise or lower the programmed values by the amount you set
A SoundFinder parameter is an override when its typical use would be to set all of a soundÕs layers to the
same absolute value.
When an override parameter is set to ÒProg,Ó the originally programmed setting for each layer is retained. A
few parameters have system-wide counterparts whose settings can be applied to a sound or trackÑsetting
such a parameter to ÒSysÓ will cause it to use the system-wide setting.
