Operational Improvements
Even Easier Easy Editing
Version 2 groups the Easy Edit parameters onto eight pages, so they are easier to find
and easier to set. Version 2 also adds three new parameters: cutoff-frequency distance,
filter gain, and AEG decay rate.
Reset Value by Pushing the Knob
You can now instantly reset any signed parameter to 0 by pushing the knob. You can
then return to the original setting by pushing the knob again. This feature makes it easy
to compare the sounds produced at the two different settings.
Select Sample by Turning Knob 1
On Version 1, Knob 1 rotation was used for page turning only. On Version 2, you can
choose between page-turn action and sample-select action. The sample-select feature
lets you change samples quickly when working at editing screens. Each time you change
the sample, the new sample name appears briefly on the screen.
Stronger Character-Input Features
The paste buffer now holds four names instead of one. The character-entry screen offers
a new CAPS function (uppercase/lowercase toggle) and a new JUMP function (jumps to
different locations in the alphanumeric list).
Enhanced MIDI-to-Sample Operation
The MIDI-to-Sample feature lets you change the in-edit sample by playing notes at an
external keyboard. Version 2 significantly improves the usefulness of this feature.
Save Data Across Multiple FDs
On Version 1, floppy-disk saves were limited by the disk capacity. Version 2 can save data
across multiple disks, so the save size is unlimited.
Better Hard-Disk Support
Version 2 supports hard-disk sizes up to 8GB (partition size of 1GB). Disk access is faster
than on Version 1.
Better Support for Foreign Data
Version 2 offers improved compatibility for CD-ROMs and hard disks designed for other
popular samplers.
