3. THE PROGRAM OPERATING MODE
3.1. INTRODUCTION
The Program mode (
PLAY MODE
) is the main operating mode where the user can recall
and perform the programmed patches. It consists of a main video page and two pages of
functions such as "
SEND PRG
" and "
SOLO
".
The top line on the display shows the bank, the number and the name of the selected
patch.
The selected patch can be changed by simply using the Encoder or the [INC] and [DEC]
keys (the range for the patches is set as A-001 A-128 and B-001 B-128) with
instantaneous loading. The Numeric Pad keys are also enabled for patch selection and
when these keys are used, the value must be confirmed using the [ENTER] key.
The [BANK] key also operates on the same principle, with cyclic selection between banks
A and B. When the memory bank only is selected without the patch number, the current
patch number will be taken by default. Keys [F1]-[F2]-[F3]-[F4] are not operational in this
page.
When a patch containing exclusive system data is recalled, during data emission the
display will appear as shown below:
and it will then return to the standard mode.
3.2. "SEND PRG" FUNCTION
The
PRG
(or
Send Program Change
) function allows the user to send a Program Change
to a specific port and MIDI channel without having to select an Edit procedure. This
function is especially useful, for example, for recalling a given sound on a connected
expander at the test level, without this sound having to be memorized in the patch.
Pressing key [F5] will give access to the function represented by the following video page.
