1.
Use the arrow keys to move to the EDIT icon. Press [ENTER/YES] to open the edit win-
dow.
2.
The EDIT KIT menu is used for both selecting which machine to load to a track and for
specifying mute and trig groups. The <SOUND SELECTION> LEDs indicate which track
you are editing, also shown at the top of the EDIT KIT window. To change track position,
turn the SOUND SELECTION wheel left or right, or hold down the [FUNCTION] key and
press the corresponding [TRIG] key.
3.
After choosing what track you want to change, use [LEFT] and [RIGHT] to choose
between the SYNTH, MACHINE and RELATE columns. [LEFT] and [RIGHT] are also
used for selecting MUTE/TRIG POS focus in the RELATE column. Once you have
entered a column, it will be highlighted and now you can use [UP] and [DOWN] to
choose from the available options.
Select the MD-synth by first selecting the SYNTH column with the [LEFT] and [RIGHT]
keys. Then move the focus using [UP] and [DOWN] to select the MD-synth of your
choice.
4.
When you are satisfied with your choice, press [RIGHT] once to move the focus to the
MACHINE column. Select the machine using [UP] and [DOWN].
5.
Finally you need to press the [ENTER/YES] key to confirm your selection. This will load
the machine with every value set to default.
•
If you want to load a machine and keep the previous settings of the TRACK
EFFECT and ROUTING pages, hold [FUNCTION] while pressing the [ENTER/YES]
key.
•
You can preview sounds without loading them. While in the EDIT KIT menu, make
sure that the <RECORD> LED is not lit and that the focus is on the MACHINE col-
umn. Then press the [TRIG] key corresponding to the active track. You will now
hear the default sound of the chosen machine.
•
The MD-synth and the machine currently selected are shown as inverted text. The
focus, when moved away from the original selection, is a square window. Once
[ENTER/YES] is pressed, the current focus will be selected, thus changing the
focus to inverted text.
