Editing Programs
Because the majority of the sound-shaping controls of the Pro 3 appear on its
front panel, editing an existing program is simple: turn a knob and listen to
its effect. Keep turning knobs and pressing buttons. If you like what you’ve
created, save the program by pressing the
write
button twice. (See “Saving a
Program” on page 10 for more options when you save.)
The rotary controls on the front panel are a mixture of rotary encoders
(which have no position indicator) and potentiometers or “pots,” which
have a position indicator and a finite travel range from left to right. You
can choose between three different modes that determine how the synth
reacts when you edit its parameters with a pot. For details, see page
98.
Comparing an Edited Program to its Original State
When editing a program, it’s often useful to compare its edited state to
its original state to evaluate your edits.
To compare an edited program to a saved version:
1. Edit a program, then press the
compare
button.
2. Play the keyboard to hear the saved version of the sound.
3. To disable the compare function and return to the edited sound, press
the
compare
button again to turn it off. Programs can’t be written while
in compare mode.
