Editing MIDI Setups
Editing MIDI Setups is much like editing the Internal Voices Setup. The main
difference is that you have the
two zones
to deal with now. The
Play/Edit
button now
functions as a
zone selector
button as well. Starting from Play mode, the Þrst press of
Play/Edit
will take you to Edit mode, Zone L. This is indicated by the Left Zone LED
above the button being lit. The value shown for the current parameter is its value in
Zone L. Pressing
Play/Edit
again takes you to Zone R and the right zone LED lights
instead. A third press returns to Play mode.
A few parameters, like Internal Sound and the ribbon modes, are always the same in
both zones. To remind you of this, both zone LEDs will be on when selecting such a
parameter. If the current parameter is one of these, then the next press of
Play/Edit
will always exit to Play mode.
Except for these differences, the same procedures described in Chapter 3 for editing
parameter values also apply to editing MIDI Setups parameters.
Saving a Modified MIDI Setup
As with Internal Voices mode, you can save a modiÞed MIDI Setup either in Edit
mode or in Play mode. ItÕs good practice to save in Edit mode by pressing the
Store
button but if you forget, youÕll be asked to save when changing MIDI Setups or
changing to Internal Voices mode.
Regardless of where or how saving is initiated, youÕll see a query sequence

. As before, you can press
Cancel
or
No
arrow to abandon the save. If you
press
Yes
arrow, youÕll Þrst be given the opportunity to specify
where
to save your
edited setup. This is shown by a blinking number on the display. You can press
Enter
or
Store
again to accept the number as shown or modify the number with the arrow or
digit buttons Þrst. The number showing when you press
Enter
or
Store
is
where
the
current MIDI Setup will be saved.
CAUTION
: When you save a setup to a different number, the setup that was at that number
is overwritten.
Being able to save a setup to a different number means that you can move MIDI
Setups around in the EEPROM memory. For example, you might adopt the convention
to retain factory setups 1Ð10 (which are primarily solo pianos) and begin your own
setup library with setup 11. You might always begin creating a new MIDI Setup by
starting with 1, making your changes, then saving in the higher numbers. Further
changes to your newly created setup are then saved in place. You can adopt other
conventions as well. After a little practice youÕll soon develop your own working
style.
NOTE
: In Edit mode, pressing
Store
3 times is a short cut for saving a MIDI Setup.
