MODE / DATA ENTRY BUTTONS
All MODE buttons function as on/off switches. This means that they are pressed
once to enter the mode, and pressed again to exit the mode. When any of the modes
have been entered, the associated LED wili be iit. For simpiicity, any time
PATTERN or SONG is pressed, any previously selected mode will be turned off.
The VOICE, TUNE, and MIX settings can be stored with each pattern by holding the
RECORD button and pressing VOICE, TUNE, or MIX, respectively. Any changes
made to these parameters without storing them are temporary edits that will be
lost if a new pattern is selected. Copying a pattern to an empty pattern will also
copy these settings. Copying a pattern to a not empty pattern will not copy these
settings, but will instead retain the settings of the pattern being copied to. An
empty pattern defaults to a standard voice assignment with no pitch shift, and
nominal mix levels.
IMPORTANT NOTE: VOICE, TUNE. AND MIX ASSIGNMENTS CANNOT BE
STORED IN AN EMPTY PATTERN UNLESS THE LENGTH HAS BEEN
CHANGED TO A LENGTH OTHER THAN 8 BEATS.
