The Compare Function
(fig. 25)
|This
function permits comparing
the
original

erroneous data
is
accidentally entered during
a
compare
operation.
It is

The
Voice Parameter Buttons
Below
the
LED
Display
All the parameters which are required for the
creation
of
voices are incorporated
in the
voice parameter switches arranged below
the
LED
display.
These parameters can
be
broadly
classified into
the
following three function
groups:
All operator
functions
(can be
memorized)
Single operator functions
(can be
memorized/*
)
Operation only functions
(cannot be
memorized/**
)
ALGORITHM
(fig,
26)
The DXl has two
FM
tone generator
sections
channel A and channel
B.
Each
of
these incorporates
6
operators.
In
this
section
it
is
possible
to set up the
operator
combinations
to
form the desired algorithm
(the
modulator-carrier relationship between
the operators).
This
is
the basis for all
voice creation.

OPERATOR SELECT
**
These switches permit selection
of
an
operator
to be
worked
on in the EDIT mode.
When
one
of
these switches is turned on its
indicator will light.
When working on
one
operator at
a
time, use
these switches to
select
the
operator
to be
edited
as
required.
*
When
an individual operator
is
selected
the data
concerning that operator
is
displayed on
the
LED
display.
*
V7hen
the power is initially turned
ON,
operator
1
is
automatically selected.
*
The operator selector status cannot
be
stored
in the
VOICE
MEMORY,
