DX 5 - 3. Edit Mode

The DX5 has the same 3 modes: Play, Function & Edit that you find in the DX7.
It's also colour coded like the DX7.

1. Play (white)
2. Function (green)
3. Edit (violet)

Edit Mode  

Edit Mode is where we edit the voices and can also create new voices.
Notice the colour .. the violet colour indicates its part of the edit mode.

Entering Edit Mode is done here: EDIT/COMPARE
 You can switch between channel A and Channel B voices by pressing the violet EDIT A & EDIT B switch
Individual voice parameters are selected by pressing the appropriate violet labeled switches & programmed using the data entry slider / switches. These are identical to the DX7.


In some instances, you will want to compare the original sound to an edited one.
Do this by pressing the edit/compare switch again.
To save edited voices, you need to enter the store mode
