Edit 4 and Edit 1 Modes
A Program is made up of four sounds. Sometimes, you need to edit four variables of
a single Program sound (for example, the attack/decay/sustain/release parameters
of an envelope). Other times, you may want to edit one variable in all four layers (for
example, the attack parameter of each layer). These two different methods of editing
a Program are available under the [EDIT 1] and [EDIT 4] buttons. The only difference
between the two modes is what variables will appear in the display at the same time.
You can switch between Edit 1 and Edit 4 modes at any time.
Note: There is no Edit 4 mode for Mixes or Effects.
