PLAY
Mode
6.1
INTRODUCTION
PLAY mode is indicated by a flashi ng
or
steady Play LED, and is the normal mode
of
the
C~'clonc.
This mode provides the ability to select, enable, and store Programs, as well as
activating
or
deactivating the highest-level Program Functions: Cloning, Cycling, Manual
Control, and Recording and Ilolding. In this mode, the left decimal point
of
the 2-digit
display
-labelled
"PannIMIDI" - is used to indicate reception
of
MIDI note-on messages
on
the Basic Channel
of
the C)'ch,me (and within an active keyboard Zone).
Whenever the
C)'c1one is Enabled, the functions which can be in effect are
detennined
by
the Program and Master Parameters.
The
Master Functions include the MIDI functions
(Echo, Clock, etc.) and the functions assigned to Pedals I and
2.
The
Program Functions
include the Zone processing (splits and re-channelization) and the functions assigned to
Pedals 3 and 4 (such as Sustain)
as well as those which can be executed in Play
Mode
by
the keys labeled "Clone" , "Cycle", "Manual Control", and "Record/Hold".

SELECTOR
KEYS:
"-
SELECT
-"
AND
"ENABLE"
While the C)'clone is in
PLA
Y mode, the 2-digil display reflects a Program number,
or
"-
_It
if
the currently selected Program is disabled. The display also contains two
decimal points that indicate a particular status while in
PLAY
mode:
• I
rthe right decimal point
is
off, the display
is
reading a cUITently selected internal
Program.
.
•
If
the right decimal point is on steady, the display indicates a cun'ently selected
extcmal Program from a Data Card.
If the right decimal point is flashing, a new Program has been selected but not yet
activated.
The
previous Program # will still be active until "Enable" is pressed.
When "Enable" is pressed, the flashing decimal will
go
out, confirming the
selection, and the
new
Program will then be the active one.
Programs can be selected by either
or
two methods: press the
"-
Select
-"
"<
"and
">" arrow keys to cause the display to
show
the desired Program #, then press the
Enable switch to confirm the selection.
A
new
Program # cun be selected
over
MIDI via Program Change messages transmitted
from the Master controller. In this case, it
is not necessary to press "Enable" as the
selection
is
confinned automatically.
In
either
case, subsequent presses
of
the Enable switch
cause
the Cyclone to toggle
between the Enabled and Disabled Slates.
When
Disabled, the
C~'clone
is effectively
la.ken
out
of
the MIDI chain and simply acts as a software "Thru"; when Enabled, the
Cyclone behaves according to the settings
of
the Program Function switches, the
Program Parameters,
and
the Master Parameters.
