CTRL 1, 2, 3, 4—These parameters constitute the patch’s
“matrix control” area. Matrix control lets you use a variety
of devices, including MIDI messages, to alter patch
parameter values as notes play. Each of the four CTRL
screens lets you select a controlling device, or “source,” and
up to four parameters, or “destinations,” for manipulation.
Sources can be controllers transmitted from the REALTIME
CONTROL knobs, as explained in the next section.
Programming the REALTIME CONTROL Knobs
To program the behavior of the REALTIME CONTROL knobs
when their ASSIGNABLE LED is lit:
1. Hold down SHIFT and turn any of the knobs—the Control
Setting screen appears, where you can set each of the four
knobs to transmit the desired type of MIDI message.
Press F2 () or F1 () to display and set the assignable behavior of the D
Beams and ASSIGNABLE SW buttons.
2. When you’re done, press F8 (System Write)—in Patch
mode, realtime control settings are stored in system
memory. (In Performance mode, each performance has its
own realtime control settings.)
The Patch Edit Utility Menu
On the Patch Edit screen, press F4 (Util Menu) to display the
Utility menu.
To perform one of the Utility menu operations, highlight it
using the VALUE dial or 6 or 5, and then press F8 (Select).
Copying Tone Settings
If you’d like to copy the settings from one tone to another
within the same patch—or even “borrow” the settings of a
tone from another patch—use the Tone Copy feature. In the
Utility menu, select Patch Tone Copy.
In the Patch Tone Copy window, you can select the tone you
want to copy (the Source patch and tone) and to where you
want to copy it (the Destination patch and tone).
To audition the copy source patch, press F6 (Compare) so the Compare
button lights red.
When you’re ready, press F8 (Exec) to make the copy.
