Panel Mode
Panel Mode is used to access presets and other performance functions. Pressing the PANEL button
accesses Panel Mode. The LED above the PANEL button will be lit, and the preset name and location will
be displayed. A preset consists of all the stored settings of the front panel controls (except FINE TUNE)
plus the preset’s software parameters. Once a preset is called up, the front panel controls and software
parameters can be used to adjust the parameters of the sound. When a front panel control is changed,
the stored value jumps to the absolute position of the control. Changes to a preset can be saved in Edit
Mode (see ‘SAVE PRESETS’, page 64).
If you wish to get back to the original sound after modifying the
parameters, simply press ENTER and the original preset will be reloaded. Pressing ENTER stores the
tweaked sound into a memory buffer that can be brought back through the RECALL function in Edit Mode.
Once the program number is changed, the buffer is cleared.
Presets are stored in one the Voyager XL’s memory locations. These memory locations are organized into
8 banks of 128 presets each; the first 7 banks can be overwritten (the last bank is a ROM bank that cannot
be overwritten). The banks are labeled A to H, and bank locations are numbered from 1 to 128. Presets
can be changed incrementally using the -1/+1 buttons. You can also scroll through presets in a bank using
the EXTERNAL level control on the Mixer (when the Mixer’s EXTERNAL switch is in the OFF position), or
specify a preset through a MIDI Program Change command. To change banks, press and hold the CURSOR
button and use the -1/+1 buttons to advance forward or backward through the banks. Banks can also be
selected through a MIDI Bank Select message.
Once in Panel Mode, pressing the PANEL button a second time accesses the Panel Mode menus shown
below. The Voyager XL has eight Panel Mode functions that span two pages as shown.
