PARAMETERS
EDITING AND PROGRAMMING
Note: Before editing programs it may be a good idea to save the
factory programs using the cassette interface.
To adjust (edit) program parameters, first switch Preset off. (If Link
was on, it will also switch off.)
Selecting Parameters
There are 30 program parameters arranged in a k x 8 matrix.
(Selection 032 is the MIDI Channel, and one location is unused.) In
either order, select the row using the Parameter Group switches, and
select the column using the PROGRAM SELECT switches.
For example, if the FILTER Parameter Group switch is lit and
PROGRAM SELECT 5 is lit, then the Filter Decay parameter is
selected.
Adjusting Parameter Values
When Preset is off, the number in the display is the value ot the
parameter which is currently selected (by the parameter matrix
switches). To adjust the parameter value, turn the Parameter Value
knob.
Note: The Filter Cutoff parameter ranges to 127, but the display
only shows two digits. Therefore when adjusting this parameter above
99 (100 to 127), the 1 is not displayed.
Cancelling Edits: . .
to cancel all edit changes and restore the original program, switch
Preset on and re-select the program.
Recording Edited Programs
After editing a program as desired,
1. Switch Preset on.
2. Switch Record on. It blinks.
3. Enter two digits for the desired program destination. The control
panel stops blinking, 'indicating recording is completed.
Note: If you made an error with your first digit entry, you can
switch Record off to abort. But when you press the second digit, the
edited program is recorded in that location (and erases the previous
program).

Copying Programs .
To copy a program, select the desired program, switch Record on,
then select the desired destination.
As a starting point for creating new sounds it is often helpful to clear
all program parameters to the minimum required to produce a tone.
This can be done easily by holding down Record and pressing
PROGRAM SELECT 1. This sets all parameters to 00, except as
follows:
Coarse: 2^
Sawtooth wave: 1 (on)
Cutoff: 127
KBD Track: 2 (full)
Amp Sustain: 15
Voice Volume: 15
If desired, this basic patch can be recorded as a program from which
many editing*departures can be made.
PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS
Glide
Sy£2!l?!fc« the Keyboard. As the glide value increases
the voices do not step instantly between pitches, nstead, they begm
to slew. The effect can be made subtle or quite extreme. When
Unison is off, polyphonic glide results, which is not easy to preset,
but can make an interesting effect.
Chorus
^SSSfi^U^ rate and depth. It is programmed on or off If
in Split or Double modes, and one channel programs the chorus on,
this will overide the other channel programming it off.
Unison
^X™«~< that some factory programs only allow you to
olav one note at a time. This is because the Unison parameter s
programmed on? When Unison is on, all eight voices (or four vo.ces ,1
uTspTlt or Double modes), are played only by the lowest key. Thw
monophonic, rather than polyphonic, voice ass.gnment is used to
produce a richer sound.
In addition, if Unison is on, the keyboard changes from m"»tiple-
tri«er to single-trigger mode. In this mode the "envelope" wh.ch
sha%s each note is not necessarily triggered with each new keystroke
