Front Panel Editing - Does it work?

Does anybody know whether it IS possible to edit the nm from the front panel without the computer connected.- I've only been able to access very, very basic things. I know that the editing comes no where to using a pc- so you can't introduce extra modules, but has anybody tried this?- I may be able to get a LFO or a master oscillator frequency, but not much else.

Sure, it works, no problem. That is complicated is understanding the navigation between modules. But it's all in the manual, I think. In brief: You navigate between modules like they are layed out on the screen. That means you have X rows and Y columns of modules.. So just walking down throug the modules will only make you see the ones in the first column.

If you want to practice, just use the Edit mode and the Navigator when still connected to the computer. You'll will learn to interpret the building of the Patch. You'll have an idea of the lay out of the Modules by now J (Compressor and Limiter I find still very difficult) Don't forget to use the SHIFT.

And watch out for the morph groups, so you know when you're Upstairs.

I use it all the time in live shows. The only thing you can't do from the front panel is add modules or change cable patchings. The navigator does take a bit of getting used to. When you hit edit you are on the morph adjust by default. to get out of there you push the DOWN arrow. However now if you push the down arrow - nothing happens! To move around BETWEEN modules, press SHIFT+arrow key. Whether it actually moves depends on whether there is another module located in that direction. It's hard to visualize unless you know the exact physical onscreen layout of the patch. I usually just hammer the buttons until I find the module I want. OR... To fly fancy, press the FIND button on the left side of the modular, and turn a knob. The display will show the name of the parameter and a little arrow indicating where the physical knob is turned in relation to the parameter value. when you let go of Find, the edit screen stays on that module/parameter. To move within a module, the left/right arrows are used. Anyway, practice a bit and you will soon find it is second nature. well, maybe, practice a lot J
