4.4 Editing Parameters
Select an edit level (e.g. Level 1, VCF Envelope) and manipulate the
corresponding control located in the column of the desired
mode, e.g. <Attack>. The display will immediately indicate the
edited attack value. In several modes, another parameter is
selected when you press the <Shift> key, e.g. LFO Shape. These
are indicated on the control panel via orange markings.
If you change a parameter, the current program is automaticallly
in edit mode, indicated by the letter “E” preceding the program
number. However, the 4-Pole is equipped with just one editing
buffer, so that all changes you have made to a program are
irretrievably lost if you did not save them first (refer to Section
4.8)! These controls have several different functions, as the
following chapter will illustrate.
4.5 Knob Mode
The 4-Pole was equipped with potentiometers featuring right and
left limits because we feel these are the best tools for editing
parameters. They do have a disadvantage: the position of the
knob rarely corresponds to the actual value of a given program’s
parameter. Consequently, we integrated two distinct modes to
give you the opportunity to edit values as you see fit.
If you press and hold the <Mode> key and simultaneously press
the <Manual Trigger> key, “KNOB MODE” will appear in the display.
Knob Mode can be changed again by pressing the <Mode> and
<Manual Trigger> keys again.
JMP - Jump Mode
In Jump Mode, the parameter jumps directly to the value you set
via the knob regardless of the parameter’s original value.
