Steps from 2) to 6) can be also executed during preset creation, along with
effect storing.
For larger details, see the OPERATING GUIDE, pages 8-9.
Further Information About EDIT Mode
Already stored presets can be easily modified simply writing over them.
But, if you want to erase a preset entirely, you must use the ERASE function.
See the OPERATING GUIDE at page 9, par. 5.3, lines 9-26, for use of COMP(are),
COPY and ERASE functions.
IMPORTANT:
If you find out that after operating the ERASE switch you can't go on storing
new information under the same preset number or you can't select any other
preset, that means that your accordion is equipped with the first firmware
release.
In this case, to get the proper operation, operate as follows:
1) Press "EDIT";
2) Select the preset to be ERASEd;
3) Press "ERASE";
4) Press "SAVE"
5) Select same preset number to store new information in the erased preset, or
6) Select new preset number to be erased or edited.
Steps 4) and 5) are not necessary if your accordion is equipped with the latest
firmware release. (Released since Sept. 12, 1988).
4) OPERATION IN PRESET MODE
This is the mode of operation that must be entered if you want to use the
presets stored in EDIT Mode.
To enter the PRESET Mode, press the "PRESET" switch.
The PRESET light comes on.
In PRESET mode the "TREBLE", "CHORD" and "BASS" switches are not enabled. The
"SOLO" switch works only as "SOLO Section On/Off".
All other controls work as in POLY Mode, but the numbered pushbuttons, which now
select the stored presets instead of single effects.
In better words, each number you select will point to a memory location: any of
the information (effects and/or VLS) it retains will be recalled and the
expander units will be set accordingly.
If no information is retained (preset still clear or erased), nothing will
happen.
If you stored full information for Treble, Chord, Bass and Solo including
effects and volumes (VLS) into a preset, with a simple preset selection (a two
digit number) you will change effects and volume in all sections, all at the
same time!
Though presets can be accessed only in PRESET mode, the pedal switch "PRESET UP"
will always scan and recall stored preset upwords, even if the accordion is set
to POLY mode.
This gives you the freedom to select presets and/or single effects during your
performance, without need of mode switching.
For a proper use of the "PRESET UP" switch, see the Operating Guide, page 7.
5) EXPANDER SET-UP
MIDI-wise, the accordion is actually a four section Midi Master Keyboard. It can
send all information over four Midi Channels, thus to get full operation, the
expander or expanders connected through the MIDI line must be programmed to
receive information over the proper channels.
See the MIDIVOX Midi Chart (last page of Operation Guide) to learn about the
Midi Messages transmitted by the MIDIVOX accordions.
