Al ,
He's right !
if you find something interesting in a factory patch , just look how
it's done by the simple observation , so you'll understand quickly how
it works . You can modify factory patches without damage as long as you
don't push the "store" button , followed by "yes" . And , in case of
fatal error you can reset the factory patches as described in the last
pages of the handbook .

>the Param, Source and Depth switches to assign the Source (a knob,
>ribbon x-y or z, etc.) to a parameter (resonance, AEG depth, etc.) with
>an amount or Depth. (For now lets just deal with Sets and ignore the
