Advanced Use
Edit mode allows you to get the most out of the VK-8’s
functions by making more detailed settings. This section
explains the functions that can be set in Edit mode. In this
owner’s manual, the process of modifying a setting is
referred to as “editing,” and the item of data that is modified
is referred to as a “parameter.”
■ About the Edit Modes
There are two edit modes—one saves settings individually
for each preset, while the other stores a single value to be
used by the entire system.
System Memory
The edit mode that stores things for the entire system deals
with the following:
• Organ rotary settings (p. 49)
• Click noise and percussion settings (p. 51)
• MIDI settings (p. 52)
• Equalizer and other settings (p. 55)
• Control pedal settings (p. 40)
Preset Memory
The edit mode that stores things on an individual preset
basis deals with the following:
• Effect and other settings (p. 56)
• Harmonic bars and other panel settings (p. 45)
• Split Point (p. 38)
• Active Expression setting (p. 39)
• OTHER TONES PART ASSIGN (p. 57)
NOTE
In the case of settings that are saved for each preset, you must
save the edited settings in a preset. If you turn off the power
without saving the edited settings to a preset, your changes will
be lost.
■ Basic Procedure
Here is the basic procedure for each edit mode.
→ For details, refer to the explanation for each edit mode.
1.
Hold down the HARMONIC BAR PART [UPPER] and
[PEDAL] buttons, and press the [***] button.
The indicators of the [1]–[8] buttons will blink.
The [***] button will be a different button depending on
the edit mode that you want to set. For details, follow the
procedure for each edit mode.
2.
Press one of the buttons from [1] through [8] to select
the parameter that you want to edit.
If there are more than eight parameters, you can access
all of them by switching the lit/dark state of the
[PRESET] button.
3.
Turn the [VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob to adjust
the setting.
For parameters that are switched ON/OFF, turn the
[VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob toward the right to
switch the parameter ON, or toward the left to switch it
OFF.
For parameters that have an adjustable value, turn the
[VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob toward the right to
increase the value, or toward the left to decrease the
value.
At this time, the D Beam type indicator will show the
approximate value of the setting (p. 48).
If you press the VIBRATO AND CHORUS [ON] button,
the setting will return to the initial value.
4.
If you want to adjust another parameter in the same
edit mode, press one of the [1]–[8] buttons to select the
parameter, and turn the [VIBRATO AND CHORUS]
knob to edit the value.
When you want to stop editing, press the HARMONIC
BAR PART [UPPER] button.
5.
Press the [WRITE] button to finalize the settings of the
parameters.
Parameter settings will be saved.
While the parameters are being saved, the indicators of
the [1]-[8] button will blink.
6.
Parameters that are edited independently for each
preset are saved as part of the preset (p. 45).
