### What you can change

| Setting | Editable? | How |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sound of a track | ✔ | **ReMap** → Sound Select |
| Expression | ✔ | Knob or 0–127 box |
| Low Key / High Key | ✔ | Choose A0 – C8 |
| Sounds of the STS parts | ✔ | STS tab → click a row |
| Notes of a Chord Variation | ✔ | Right-click the CV → **Event Editor** |

> **When are changes written?:** A new sound (ReMap), an expression value or a key range is written into the style **as soon as you change it**; **Update Style** writes all track values of the style once more. Everything goes to the SET A **working copy** — your SET on disk changes only when you press **Save** in SetManager.
