Track Status
When on this screen, the two Track burtons are used to turn the individual
tracks on and off. This is done by using either of the two Track buttons to
select the desired track, then pressing both Track buttons simultaneously to
change the status. When a track is on, the track number appears in the indicator
on the screen. When a track is turned off, a dash (—) appears in that track's
indicator.
The track status indicators have another important purpose. When a channel is
receiving incoming MIDI data, the status indicator for that track will change to a
musical note. This allows you to determine which tracks are receiving MIDI.
Compare — Using the Select Preset Button
Once a track status has been changed, the bottom line of the Preset Select screen
changes. Where originally the preset name appeared, the display now reads
"*EDITED PRESET*", indicating that a parameter within the preset has been
changed from its current setting. In fact, when any parameter within a preset is
changed, returning to the Preset Select screen will indicate you are currently
working with an edited preset.
To hear the original, unchanged preset, press the Select Preset button. You
will hear the original preset and see the screen with its original settings. Press
Select Preset again to return to your edited preset. You can toggle back and
forth between the original and the edited sound as often as you like.
Edit Preset Buffer
You can edit a preset, while keeping the original preset intact, because the edited
version is kept in a special area of memory called the Edit Preset Buffer.
Whenever you change any parameter of a preset, the altered preset is put in the
edit preset buffer, replacing whatever was previously there. Only one preset at a
time can reside there — the buffer always contains the results of your last edit.
When you press the Select Preset button, you are alternating between the
preset in the original memory location and the preset in the edit preset buffer. We
refer to the preset in the edit buffer as the Edit Preset.
You can return to the edit preset, even after selecting another preset (as long as
you don't change any parameters there) by pressing the Select Preset button.
This puts you back in the edit buffer, and any changes you make will affect the
edit preset.
As with sounds, the rule of thumb is this: Whichever preset you hear, that's what
you're editing.
If you like the results of the changes you have made to a preset, you should
rename it and save the new preset permanently, to another location. The
procedure for this is covered under "Saving a New Preset Into Memory" later in
this section.
