The Favorites 1 button works as an Edit button while in the Program Editor. Press the
Favorites 1 button to enter sub editors when the following fields are selected: Parameters
on the PARAMS page, FX Chains on the FX or LYR FX pages, Intonation Map on the
COMMON page, Keymaps on the KEYMAP page, Samples within the Keymap editor,
Patterns on the ARP page (Shift, Velocity, and Duration), and Algorithm on the ALG page.
The top line of the display will show the F1:EDIT icon when a sub editor is available.
When a VAST Mod source has been assigned to a physical controller or CC number, you
can select the VAST source field and press the Favorites 1 button to jump to selecting the
associated parameter on the Parameters Page. When a VAST Mod source has been assigned
to an envelope, LFO, ASR or FUN, you can select the VAST source field and press the
Favorites 1 button to jump to selecting an associated field on one of the envelope pages or
the LFO+ page. The top line of the display will show the F1:JUMP icon when a jumpable
parameter is selected.

Favorites 5: Bypass FX
Press the Favorites 5 button to temporarily bypass the Insert and Aux FX Chains. Press the
Favorites 5 button again to re-enable the Insert and Aux FX Chains.
Bypassing the FX is useful for checking the output level of a program with and without
its FX Chains. If the output level of a program is the same with and without the FX being
bypassed, it will prevent sudden jumps in volume that can occur when switching programs
while notes are being held. When a new program is selected while notes from the last
program are still being held, the FX Chains from the last program may be “stolen” by the
new program if there are not enough FX resources for both programs. You may hear a sudden
jump in volume if the output of a program is too quiet or too loud without its FX Chains.
To fix this, usually the output gain in the last box of the Insert Chain should be adjusted
until the program volume is the same with and without bypassing the FX. Afterwards, you
may need to adjust the Common Page OutGain of the program to match its level with other
programs.
