EASY EDIT Function EASY EDIT Function This section describes the PLAY-mode EASY EDIT function. You use easy-editing to adjust the sound of the samples used by the selected program. Important • These adjustments are applied by the program, and do not alter the settings stored within the sample itself. Some of these adjustments operate as offsets to the sample's own parameters, while others temporarily override the sample's own parameters. • EASY EDIT settings for a particular sample are lost when you remove the sample from the program (when you set the program's ToPgm switch OFF for that sample). The settings are not restored if you then set the ToPgm switch back on. • You cannot apply Easy Editing to samples that are not used by the current program, or to samples that exist within sample banks. If you select such a sample, the lower line of the screen will be blanked out ("- - -") to indicate that editing is unavailable. • If you apply easy editing to a sample bank, the settings apply to the entire bank. You can apply edit settings to individual samples within the bank. FYI This feature lets you adjust the way a sample operates and sounds within a program while leaving the sample's original settings unchanged. This is particularly useful when you wish to use the same sample in different ways with different programs. 118 Chapter 4 PLAY Mode
