Adjusting the Audition Function
The REV500 lets you customize the audition function to suit
your needs. You can select one of two tones: either a snare
drum or a rim shot. You can also specify whether pressing
the AUDITION key will play the selected tone once, or start
it playing repeatedly. You can also turn the function off, to
prevent the REV500 from producing unwanted sounds if this
key is pressed accidentally.
To adjust the audition function, first press the UTILITY key.
If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the DEMO
TONE TRIG display appears:
Tone selection Trigger mode
Cursor
Use the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor from the
tone selection parameter to the trigger mode parameter, and
vice-versa. Use the REV TIME control to select the desired
tone (SNARE or RIM), or the desired trigger mode (OFF,
ONCE, or SEQ).
When you are satisfied with your settings, press one of the
PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode.
Changing the Initial Title Display
This utility function lets you personalize your REV500 by
entering a short message that will be displayed briefly when
you turn on the power. This message can consist of two lines
of up to 14 characters each.
To edit this initial title display, begin by pressing the
UTILITY key. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again
until the INI TITLE 1/2 display appears:
Cursor
Cursor
This display is used to edit the first line of the initial title.
Use the PRE DELAY control to select a character you wish
to change, and the REV TIME control to change that
character. Repeat this process until the line appears as you
wish it to read.
When you are satisfied with this line of your startup
message, press the UTILITY key a second time to display
the INI TITLE 2/2 display. Repeat the process to edit the
second line.
When you are done editing the initial title, press one of the
PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode.
Initializing the REV500’s User
Memory
At some point you may wish to clear the edited programs out
of your REV500’s user memory and restore it to factory
condition. The method for doing this is as follows:
Hold the STORE key down as you turn the POWER switch
on. The REV500 will instruct you to press the STORE key a
second time to initialize its memory. Press the STORE key
to go ahead with the initialization, or any other key if you
decide you don’t want to.
Please be aware that this procedure will initialize any system
settings and MIDI settings (such as the MIDI program
change map) as well as the contents of the user memory area.
