Using the Jobs

Using the Jobs

You can perform various operations (Jobs) in the Job mode. For example, you can initialize Voices/Performances to
their original settings (including those currently being edited) or copy Elements/Parts.

Job (PAGES)

Performing a Job

1

In each mode, select the Voice/Performance/Master
Number or Mixing you wish to perform the Job on.

2

Press the [JOB] button to enter the Job mode.

3

Use the function buttons and switch to the screen
showing the Job you wish to perform (excluding
Utility mode).

4

Use the [DEC/NO], [INC/YES] and [

▲ ▼

EF

]

buttons to select the parameter you wish to perform
the Job on.

5

When you press the [ENTER] button,
a confirmation prompt appears.

6

Press the [INC/YES] button to confirm.
A “Completed” message appears when the Job has
been completed, and operation returns to the
original screen.

Press the [DEC/NO] button to cancel the Job.

Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being
written to Flash ROM (while an “Executing...” or
“Please keep power on” message is shown). Turning
the power off in this state results in loss of all user data
and may cause the system to freeze (due to corruption
of data in the Flash ROM).

7

Press one of the MODE buttons (or the [EXIT]
button) to exit the Job mode and return to the Play
mode.

Resetting (initializing) parameters
of a Voice/Performance to their
default settings [F1]

This is useful for setting up a “blank slate” when you
want to build a completely new Voice/Performance
from scratch. Keep in mind that this does not return
the Performance to its original state prior to editing.

Select parameter Type to be Initialized

* Parameters available when the parameter type to be initialized is set to

Split or Layer. They can be designated the MIDI transmit channel or the
Split Point as a result of the job.

UpperCh, LowerCh
When the Parameter Type above is set to “Zone - Split,” you can set
separate MIDI transmit channels for the upper and lower keyboard
sections (right of Split Point and left of Split Point,
respectively).When the Parameter Type above is set to “Zone -
Layer,” you can set separate MIDI transmit channels for two layers.

SplitPoint
This is available only when the parameter type to be initialized is
set to “Split.” The range is C - 2~G8.
