Owner's Manual
12. Parameter mode
The EM-50/30's Parameter mode contains more
advanced settings you may not need every day. They
allow you to fine-tune your instrument's response. It
would therefore be a good idea to familiarize yourself
with these parameters. All settings (except Write Pro-
tect) can be written to a User Program.
12.1 Editing the parameters
(general procedure)
You can edit the EM-50/30's parameters via the dis-
play. Here is a general outline to be used for all para-

3. Use the MENU A V buttons to select the parame-
ter you wish to edit (see below).
Note: If you selected this mode by mistake, press [CAN-
CEL] to return to the FARAMETER: message, use MENU
AW to select another mode, and press [ENTER].
4. Press [ENTER] to confirm your parameter selec-
tion.
The value or On/Off message to the left of the para-
meter name now flashes to signal that you can change
(“edit”) it.
5, Use the MENU A V buttons to modify the value of
the selected parameter.
Note: To return to the default value of the currently select-
ed parameter, simultaneously press MENU AY.
6. To leave the Parameter mode, press [CANCEL] sev-
eral times until the “PARAMETER” message is dis-
played, then use MENU AY, followed by [ENTER]
to select another mode.
12.2 Parameters
The following parameters are available:
WritePrt (Write Protect)
(Off, On) This parameter is the same as the one that
appears when you try to write your settings to a User
Program (see page 43). Write Protect is automatically
set to “On” when you power off the EM-50/30. How-
ever, the first time you try to write your settings to a
User Program after switching on the EM-50/30,
WritePrt automatically appears and can be switched
off just before writing your settings. — So why include
this parameter here?
Because otherwise, the only way to switch WritePrt
back on again would be to power the EM-50/30 off
and on again, which is not very convenient and may
lead to the loss of other settings (such as the Disk
User Style in RAM). And there will be situations
where you do not want your saved settings to be acci-
dentally overwritten by someone else (or yourself). So
once you are satisfied with a User Program, call up
this parameter and switch it back On.
Please bear in mind, though, that this only slows
down the Write procedure (because the WritePrt mes-
sage appears when you attempt to write your sct-
tings). It does not make it impossible altogether.
MstrTune (Master Tune)
(415.3~466.2, Default: 440.0) This parameter allows
you to change the EM-50/30's overall tuning, which
may be necessary when you accompany a singer, an
acoustic instrument, or when you play to a recording
on CD or cassette. See also “Using the INPUTs” on
page 38.
ArrSplit (Arranger Split)
(48-84, Default: 60) Use this parameter to set the split
point for the Arranger mode. The note you set here is
the lowest note you can play with the Upper1/2 parts.
See also “About the Arranger” on page 13. The num-
ber refers to a note. “60” refers to the note “C4” (the
one below the [STYLE/SONG] button).
LwrSplit (Lower Split)
(48~84, Default: 60) Use this parameter to set the split
point for the Organ mode. The note you select here is
the lowest note you can play with the Upper1/2 parts.
MBass
(On/Off, Default: Off) See “Switching on the M.Bass
part” on page 26.
UP1 Octv/UP2 Octv/LWR Octv
(-1, 0, 1) These three parameters allow you to shift
the octave of the part in question (Upperl, Upper2, or
