Editing
Function
Me-
mory
Parameters
When
you
begin editing
the function parameters,
you
will actually
be
editing
the
parameters
in
a buffer
memory
which
is
independent from
the
32
TX7
and 32
DX
function memories.
When
a
TX7
voice
is
selected,
its
corresponding function
memory
data
is
called into the
TX7's function
edit buffer,
where
it
resides
until a
new
voice
is
selected.
Thus you can
actually hear the effect of
function parameter
changes on
the selected voice as
you
are editing.
In
order
for
the edited functions
to
be
recalled
automatically the next time that voice
is
selected,
they
must
then
be
stored
in
the appropriate
TX7
or
DX
function
memory
as
described
in
the "Storing
TX7 &
DX
Function Parameters"
section.
All
the function parameters described
above
are
accessed
for
editing
by
using the
FUNCTION
button.
Note
that
the
FUNCTION
button has
two
arrows: the
one above
pointing
to
the
right,
and
the
one below
pointing
to
the
left.
These
arrows correspond
to
theTX7's
NORMAL
and
SHIFT
modes,
selected
by
the
MODE
button immediately
to the right
of the
FUNCTION
button.
In
the
NORMAL
mode, each
press
on
the
FUNCTION
button
scrolls
forward through the function
list,
while
in
the
SHIFT
mode
each press
on
the
FUNCTION
button
scrolls
backwards through
the function
list
{for
more
details
on
using the
SHIFT/NORMAL
MODE
button,
see
"More About
the Shift
and Normal Modes", on page
18).
Press the
FUNCTION
button
a
few
times
and
note
that
the
TX7
LCD
displays
correspond
to
those given
in
the
FUNCTION
&
DISPLAY
list
given above. At
some
point press the
MODE
button, once, then
try
pressing the
FUNCTION
button again.
You
will
now
move
backwards
through the function
list.
Press the
MODE
button
again
to revert to
forward
scrolling.
This
makes
it
faster
and
easier to
access
specific
functions
for editing.
The
value
or
mode
of the selected function
is
then
set
using the
DATA
N0/-1
and
YES/ +
1
buttons.
The
N0/-1
and
YES/ +
1
buttons
decrement and increment
the value
of
the selected function,
respectively.
Note
that
on
displays
which
contain
a
number
of functions, the position of the blinking
block cursor
indicates
the
currently selected function.
Direct
Functions
These
of functions take effect
immediately
when
they
are
set.
That
is,
they
are
not
effects
which
can be controlled
via
the
connected
DX
synthesizer's various
con-
trollers.
MASTER
TUNE
MASTER TUNE
This
is
the
TX7's master tune
function. All
voices are affected
simultaneously.
The
displayed tuning range
is
from
-64
to
+63. Each increment corresponds
to a
1
.2
cent
change
in
pitch.
Thus, the entire
tuning range
is
±75
cents. Setting
MASTER
TUNE
to
sets the
TX7
to
standard
(A
= 440
Hz)
pitch.
The
DATA
N0/-1
and
YES/ +
1
buttons
are
used
to
increment
and decrement
the
MASTER TUNE
value.
Hold
the
N0/-1
or
YES/ +
1
button
down
for
continuous
decrementing
or
incrementing
in
the specified
direction.
PLAY MODE, POLY
/MONO
PLAY
MODE
=
POLY
This function
determines
whether
the
TX7
voices are playable
in
the
monophonic
or
polyphonic
mode. The
N0/-1
and
YES/+1
buttons
are
used
to set
the
MONO
or
POLY
mode.
MONO
mode
operation
is
last-note priority.
