CHAPTER 6
Concept and Operation
tial to basic sound programming, and they do
tend to make the device a little more challeng-
ing to handle. EXPERT mode can solve this
problem. It lets hide and show rarely used pa-
rameters in the display menus. You'll find the
display for EXPERT mode in the ARP/CTRL
menu; it is the last parameter in the list. In the
chapter "The Parameters", those parameters
that belong to EXPERT mode are labeled [XP].
The MULTI mode parameters feature a dedicat-
ed menu called the Multi Edit menu. Access it
by pressing the Multi button while the device is
in MULTI mode. The LED located over the MUL-
TI button will light up to indicate that the Multi
Edit menu is active. Press the MULTI button
again to return to normal Play mode. If the de-
vice is in MULTI-SINGLE mode, press the MUL-
TI and SINGLE buttons simultaneously to
access the Multi Edit menu. It suffices to press
either the MULTI or SINGLE button to return to
normal Play mode from MULTI-SINGLE mode.
DISPLAY OF VALUES
When a menu is active, different display options
are available for parameters with a dedicated
knob. These can be selected under the menu
item KNOB DISPLAY in the CTRL menu:
- OFF Knob movements are not displayed; the
current contents of the display remain intact
when you turn a knob.
- ON The lower row of the display is being
overwritten by the parameter's value.
- SHORT When you turn a knob, the current
contents of the lower display line are briefly
overwritten by data representing the change
in parameter value; once the action is com-
pleted, the original contents reappear in the
lower display line.
- LONG Same as SHORT, except that - you
guessed it - the display shows the knob data
for a longer period of time.
- ON The contents of the display are overwrit-
ten when you turn a knob; the original menu
does not reappear in the display.

ALL ABOUT THE MEMORY
STORE
The mode structure of SINGLE, MULTI and
MULTI SINGLE MODE is mirrored in the STORE
functions: In SINGLE MODE, STORE saves the
current SINGLE PROGRAM; in MULTI MODE,
STORE saves the current MULTI PROGRAM;
and in MULTI SINGLE MODE, the SINGLE
PROGRAM of the current PART is stored.
The STORE process is always the same regard-
less of the operating mode: Press STORE. You
then gain access to the STORE menu. There
you can use the PARAMETER buttons to move
among the individual letters in the lower name
entry line and the number of the destined mem-
ory location as well as the bank number in the
upper line. Use the VALUE button to make en-
tries. The term in the upper display line indi-
cates the name of the memory location which
you will overwrite when you store the program.
