Panel Mode
Panel Mode is used to access presets and other performance functions. Pressing the
PANEL
button
accesses Panel Mode. The LED above the
PANEL
button will be lit, and the preset name and location will
be displayed. A preset consists of all the stored settings of the front panel controls (except FINE TUNE)
plus the preset’s software parameters. Once a preset is called up, the front panel controls and software
parameters can be used to adjust the parameters of the sound. When a front panel control is changed,
the stored value jumps to the absolute position of the control. Changes to a preset can be saved in Edit
Mode (see ‘SAVE PRESETS’, page 62).
If you wish to get back to the original sound after modifying the
parameters, simply press
ENTER
and the original preset will be reloaded. Pressing
ENTER
stores the
tweaked sound into a memory buffer that can be brought back through the RECALL function in Edit Mode.
Once the program number is changed, the buffer is cleared.
Presets are stored in the Voyager’s 896 memory locations. These memory locations are organized into 7
banks of 128 presets each, and all locations can be overwritten. The 7 banks are labeled A to G, and bank
locations are numbered from 1 to 128. Presets can be changed incrementally using the
-1
/
+1
buttons. You
can also scroll through presets in a bank using the
EXTERNAL
level control on the Mixer (when the Mixer’s
EXTERNAL
switch is in the OFF position), or specify a preset through a MIDI Program Change command.
To change banks, press and hold the
CURSOR
button and use the
-1
/
+1
buttons to step through the banks.
Banks can also be selected through a MIDI Bank Select message.
Once in Panel Mode, pressing the
PANEL
button a second time accesses the Panel Mode menus shown
below. Voyager keyboard editions have eight Panel Mode functions that span two pages, while the RME has
a different set of twelve Panel Mode functions that span three pages as shown.
