compare button

Hi

Can someone please explain the Sub37 compare button? How do I clear the buffer?

If I do this …

  1. edit patch
  2. compare
  3. return to the edited patch
  4. move to a different patch
  5. edit and compare

… the compare buffer still contains the patch that I edited first. What do I do to either reset the buffer or place the last selected unedited patch in its place?

Thanks
Mark

I’m not currently near my Sub 37, so I can’t check, but the manual says this on page 13:

COMPARE
This button allows you to load an existing preset without discarding any changes you have made to a current sound. To alternate between a stored preset and a currently modi ed sound simply press the > COMPARE > button. When the > COMPARE > button is illuminated, you are listening to a stored preset and no changes can be made to the sound. When in this mode you can, however, audition different presets without discarding your currently modi ed sound. When the > COMPARE > button is dark, you have exited > COMPARE > mode and are listening to your currently edited sound.

NOTE: > You can also press > PRESET > to exit compare mode.

Thanks.
The help could be clearer, especially since the behaviour is different from most the other synths I know. But after a bit of experimentation I think I have it. The trick is to switch to the new unedited preset while the compare button is illuminated.

Thanks
