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 eight

items in this menu on two pages:

1.1 QUICK MODE

1.2 PARAMETER DISPLAY

1.3 MASTER/HP VOLUME

1.4 LCD CONTRAST

2.1 T.S. REDUCTION

2.2 EXT. AUDIO POT

2.3 GLIDE FUNCTION

2.4 RELEASE FUNCTION

1.1 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.

1.2 PARAMETER DISPLAY

PARAMETER DISPLAY is used to monitor changes to the values of a preset’s parameters. There are

three choices for this feature. Select and press Enter,the screen prompts: Display Parameter? Yes/3

sec./No”. Choose “Yes”, and 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. Choose “3 sec.”, and the current and stored values are displayed, but if

nothing changes for a few seconds, the Display shows the preset name and number again. Choose

“No” and this function is off.

1.3 MASTER/HP VOLUME

Master/HP Volume is used to determine whether the stored Master Volume and Headphone Volume

values are loaded when a new preset becomes active. If this is off, then these values are determined

by the current position of these controls.

1.4 LCD CONTRAST

LCD Contrast changes the viewable angle of the LCD display.
