. Parameters and Values
The various aspects of a sound, such as its pitch, timbre
and variations in volume, are called “Parameters”. To
create or change a sound, you adjust the values of each
of these parameters.
On the EX-8000, there are 49 parameters per program;
each parameter has a number, and each parameter’s
value is also represented by a number. These numbers
are shown on the front panel display. To create or
change a sound, you select parameters and change (or
“Edit”) their values.
When the EX-8000 stores a sound in memory or calls it
back from memory, it is actually storing and recalling
the values you have given it for the sound’s various pa-
rameters. All possible parameters and values are listed
in the “parameter index” chart on the right side of the
EX-8000 front panel. To create or change a sound, you
first use the number keys to select a parameter number,
then you use the edit slider and up/down keys to change
its value.

Features
and Functions for Control
Shows selected parameter number.
Shows current VALUE for selected parameter.
This holds the Parameter Number’s left digit, so that
the NUMBER keys can be used to select only the
right digit. This can speed up Parameter Number se-
lection when you are working on several parameters
within the same “family” (that is, having the same left
digit).
When this switch is on, you can create and modify
sounds by selecting different parameters (using the
NUMBER keys) and varying their VALUE
S
(using the
EDIT slider and/or DOWN/UP buttons).
Permits rapid and easy adjustment of parameter
VALUES (aspects of the sound) over a wide range.
These keys are used to select different Parameter
Numbers
(when

switch

on).
