Edit Buffers
In addition, you can activate
another complete MULTI program
in MULTI mode only.
EDIT BUFFERS
Whenever you play or edit a SIN-
GLE program, its current data is
stored in an edit buffer. This is an
individual memory slot for SINGLE
programs that has nothing to do
with the memory slots in the
sound banks. When you activate a
new SINGLE, its data is copied to
the edit buffer. There you can edit
it as you see fit while the original
remains unchanged in the bank.
When you activate STORE (more on
this in a bit), the content of the
edit buffer is copied back to the
original slot in the bank (or, if you
so desire, to another memory slot).
In MULTI mode, you have one
MULTI edit buffer and 16 SINGLE
edit buffers for the PARTs at your
disposal. When you activate
another a MULTI program, its data
is copied from the MULTI bank to
the MULTI edit buffer. The MULTI
program in turn contains address
information for the SINGLEs
involved, in other words, the bank
and program numbers. These
addresses are also copied from the
SINGLE banks into the 16 SINGLE
edit buffers for the PARTs.
