Quick Access Mode and the Quick Access Editor
8-2
Everything you need to know about using Quick Access mode for performance is covered in
Chapter 2, in the section called “Playing the Presets,” so we’ll move on to the Quick Access
Editor, which you’ll use to create your own Quick Access banks.
The first step in editing Quick Access banks is to select Quick Access mode. Use the CHAN/
BANK buttons to select the bank you wish to edit. The currently selected bank is shown in the
top line of the Quick Access mode page. Press the EDIT button, and you’ll enter the editor,
where you can examine each entry in the bank you selected. The Quick Access Editor page
looks like this:
EditQuickAccess||||||||||||||<>Entry:9||

The top line gives you the usual mode reminder, and shows you which of the ten entries you’re
looking at. The cursor is highlighting the object (program or setup) that’s stored in that entry.
The easiest way to edit the bank is to use the CHAN/BANK buttons to scroll through the ten
entries. The entry number will change both at the top of the page, and at the left of the page. As
the entry number changes, the highlighted objects at the center of the page will change as well,
showing you what’s stored in each entry. On the page above, for example, entry 9 is the current
entry. The Type parameter tells you that the object stored at entry 9 is a program. The cursor
highlights the program’s ID and name.
In this example, you could select a different program with your favorite data entry method. If
you wanted to store a setup in that entry instead of a program, you would move the cursor to
the Type parameter and change its value to Setup. The list of objects would change from the
program list to the setup list, and you could move the cursor back to the setup list and select
another setup. When you select the Entry or Type parameter, the list of objects at the right
disappears, leaving only the currently selected object. This makes it easier to see when it’s not
highlighted by the cursor.
When you’ve filled each entry with the object you want, press the
Name
soft button if you want
to rename the bank, or press the
Save
soft button to begin the save procedure. Press the
Dump
soft button to dump the bank via MIDI System Exclusive.
