Synth Edit mode
When you turn on the HQ/GM2 button located in the Master Control area, the Track Control
section will operate in Synth Edit mode . Synth Edit mode lets you edit the parameters of the
included Hyper Canvas high-quality software synthesizer. Since the parameters are controlled by
transmitting GM2-compatible MIDI messages, you can also use this mode to control any MIDI
device that responds to GM2 MIDI messages.
When you want to return to controlling your sequencer software, press the
HQ/GM2 button once
again to turn it off .
* So that the master fader will always be able to control the overall volume, it will transmit the message
assigned by the selected “Memory Set” (p. 349), regardless of the selected mode. Even in Synth Edit mode,
the
MASTER fader will not control the master volume of the software synthesizer.
