Korg DSS-1 - GA-2 Terminal Description

GENERAL OPERATION
■ When you use the program change function, you are
replacing the program output buffer memory con
tents with a program from program memory. The
data is simply copied from program memory to the
buffer. The data previously in the buffer is erase. If
you make changes to the current program and do not
want to loose those changes, then you must write the
changed data back to the program memory before
calling another program. (F01 write/rename),
■ In this mode you can initialize the parameters so that
the VGA, VCF, delay, and other sections of the syn
thesizer will not have any effect on the sound. (Use
F00 initialize parameters).
If you will be working on a multisound in another
mode, please initialize the program parameters
beforehand.
