Editing Parameters 

 

The PRO SOLO Mk3 has a number of parameters, each with several possible values. Settings 
are  changed  by  selecting  a  parameter  and  then  adjusting  the  value  accordingly.  To  switch 
between parameter and value modes, briefly press the SELECT button.  
 
 

    

 

 

  

 

  Parameter Mode           SELECT 

   Value Mode 

 
 
When the PRO SOLO Mk3 is in Parameter Mode, the PARA dot will be lit and 

“P” will appear in 

the left digit. The parameter number will be shown in the right two digits. An overview of the 
parameter  list  is  printed  on  the  PRO  SOLO  Mk3  itself,  although  whenever  the  parameter 
number is changed, its name will scroll across the display 

 

i.e. “MIDI rec channel”.

 The full list 

of parameters and their associated values can be found starting at page 14. 
 
When in value mode, the VAL dot will be lit instead. The value will be displayed across all three 
digits. A negative value is signified by a minus appearing in the left digit. 
 
The value or parameter can be adjusted using the INC and DEC buttons to scroll through the 
available  options.  To  increment  or  decrement  the  value  faster,  hold  either  the  INC  or  DEC 
button and then press the other. 
 
When you change the value of a parameter, this will be stored in memory and recalled on start-
up. The PRO SOLO Mk3 can store and recall 32 sets of parameters, referred to as a setup. 

 
 
Note:

 

Holding down the SELECT button (as long as the current Parameter is not 98 or 99) will clear any 

playing note in the event of a ‘stuck note’.
