Compare Performance Function
Using the Compare Performance function, you can compare the Performance currently being
edited with its unedited version. An area of memory known as the Compare buffer (
) is used
to maintain a copy of the unedited version of the current Performance. As described below, this
allows you to toggle between the edited and unedited versions of the Performance in order to
determine which one sounds better.
NOTE
The content of the Compare buffer is lost when the instrument is turned off.
The following screenshots illustrate how, for example, the Compare Performance function can be
used when editing Part parameters on the Play Mode screen from the Performance Part Edit area.
Editing parameters:
Unedited version of Performance in Compare mode:
1
Edit symbol (
E
)
This symbol is displayed when the current Performance has been edited but not yet stored.
2
Compare symbol (
C
)
This symbol is displayed when Compare mode is active. At this time, the parameters will show their
unedited settings. In addition, the [EDIT] button will flash while comparing, and it can be pressed
once again to cancel this mode and return to the edited version of the Performance.
NOTE
It is not possible to select a different Performance or to edit Performance parameters while in Compare
mode (i.e., while the Compare symbol is displayed at the top-right of the screen).
Procedure
Press the [EDIT] button while editing a Performance.
