Notes & Conventions
|
In order to maintain consistency between POs, I refer to the button directly below Knob B as Func and the button directly below Func as Effect.
The Func button actually has different names/functions between POs (described elsewhere in this guide). However, this button is always used for sync modes. |
For additional info, including transmitting and receiving data for the PO-32 and PO-35, see the user guides. |
