4. PANEL Mode
PANEL Mode is used to access presets and other performance functions. Pressing the
PANEL button accesses PANEL mode. This lights the LED above the PANEL button, and
the preset number is displayed. Note that the previous sound is stored until the ENTER
button or the +1/-1 buttons are pressed. Once a preset is called up, parameters can
be changed. If the original sound is desired, simply press ENTER and the original preset
will be reloaded. ENTER stores the tweaked sound into a memory buffer that can be
brought back through the RECALL function in EDIT mode. Once the program number is
changed, the buffer is cleared.
There are 128 memory locations for presets, all of which can be overwritten by the
user. The 128 presets are numbered 1 to 128. A preset consists of all the settings of the
front panel controls except FINE TUNE, plus the parameters in EDIT mode.
Once a preset is called up, the knobs can be used to adjust the parameters of the
sound. When a knob is changed and it is in a different position than the stored value,
the value jumps to the position of the knob. If you make changes to a preset that you
like – they can be saved in EDIT mode.
Once in PANEL mode, pressing the PANEL button accesses the PANEL mode Menu.
There are four items in this menu:
QUICK MODE
PARAMETER DISPLAY
HEADPHONE VOLUME
MASTER VOLUME
QUICK MODE
QUICK MODE is used to determine whether the presets change by simply pressing
the +1 or –1 button, or by a combination of +1/-1 and ENTER. QUICK MODE (+1/-1
changes presets) is ideal for auditioning Presets. Disabling QUICK MODE is designed for
performing live, where the user may want to call up a new preset while continuing to
play the current preset. The new preset only becomes active when the user presses the
ENTER button.
PARAMETER DISPLAY
PARAMETER DISPLAY is used to monitor changes to the values of a preset’s
parameters. When PARAMETER DISPLAY is active, a change in the position of a knob or
switch on the front panel causes the display to show the preset’s stored value and the
new value simultaneously. The last parameter changed is displayed.
HEADPHONE VOLUME
HEADPHONE VOLUME is used to determine whether the stored Headphone Volume
value is loaded when a new preset becomes active. This is useful in case your presets
have stored a high Headphone Volume value, or if you’ve changed to a different set of
headphones and the volume is drastically louder than normal.
MASTER VOLUME
MASTER VOLUME is used to determine whether the stored Master Volume value is
loaded when a new preset becomes active. This is useful if your preset bank contains
unusually loud presets, or presets with widely varying Master Volume values.
