Kurzweil sp88x - Direct Numerical Editing; Cancelling Edits; Saving the Edited Parameters

Internal Voices Mode
Editing Basics
Direct Numerical Editing
Most parameters have numerical values which can also be entered directly using the
Sound/Setup Select buttons marked with digits. You can enter a 1, 2, or 3-digit value,
then press Enter to accept it. There are a couple of rules though:
¥ You cannot enter a value greater than 255. If you try, the current entry value will
revert to just the last digit entered.
¥ If you try to enter a value that is not valid for the current parameter (like 27 for the
Internal Effect), it will change to the closest valid value when you press Enter.
Once numeric entry has started by pressing the Þrst digit, the display will blink until
you press Enter to accept it or Cancel to abandon it. If the parameter has a signed
value, like Transpose or Tune, you can press the +/- button during numeric entry to
change the sign from positive (not indicated) to negative (Ð) and back.
Cancelling Edits
As mentioned above, you can cancel numeric entry of a new parameter value once itÕs
started (indicated by the blinking display) by pressing the Cancel button. The display
will change back to the parameterÕs value before numeric entry started.
You can also cancel all changes youÕve made to a parameterÕs value since you selected
it by pressing Cancel outside of numeric entry when the display is not blinking.
However, once you select a different parameter, the only way to recover the original
value of earlier selected parameters is to ÒreloadÓ the Internal Voices setup. Read on to
Þnd out how this is done.
Saving The Edited Parameters
Until you save your changes, they will remain in effect only until you change modes
(Internal Voices to MIDI Setups or back), change setups (when in MIDI Setups mode),
change sounds (if youÕve edited an internal effects parameter in Internal Voices mode)
or turn the power off. To save your changes in EEPROM memory so theyÕll come back
next time you select the same mode, setup, sound, or turn power on, use the following
general procedure:
1. Be sure youÕre in Edit mode then press the Store button in the edit group.
2. Depending on the mode and what parameter is selected, one of these query
sequences will appear in the display:
3. To execute the save, press Up arrow (Yes) or Store. To cancel the save, press
Down arrow (No) or Cancel.
