To Audition Programs Before Storing
To look for available memory locations to permanently store your
Program to, you can move between Program Mode and Mix Mode
without losing your changes. This is because Program Mode has a
Program edit buffer, and Mix Mode has its own Mix edit buffer along
with 16 Program edit buffers. These buffers are retained when moving
between Program Mode and Mix Mode, thus making it easy to search for
a suitable location to store your newly created Program.
Example:
While
in Program Edit mode, go to Mix Mode and scroll through the Program
list on one of the Channels; while editing a Program from Mix Mode, go
to Program Mode to scroll through the Program list.
The way to tell the difference between a program edited in Program
Mode and one edited from Mix Mode is simple: in Program Mode, the
MIX number does not appear in the display.
J
You will lose your changes if you remain in the same mode and recall a different
Mix/Program by pressing the
MIX/PROGRAM SELECT [1]—[0]
buttons.
To audition Programs before overwriting them with STORE
…when editing a Program in Program Mode:

are underlined.
ƒ
Turn Quad Knob [1] to the left so that the word “USER” appears
in the top part of the display, just before the Program name. If a RAM
card is inserted, use Quad Knob [1] to select a Card Bank.
H Turn Quad Knob [2] to scroll through the Programs until you
find one you wish to overwrite with the new edited Program. Take a
note of the number.
Press [PROGRAM] to enter Program Play Mode.
This recalls the edit buffer in Program Mode, which is your edited Program.
