Chapter 4: Overview
The User Interface: Display, Functions, Pages, and
Parameters
The key to the S4 Plus user interface is the combination of the Display and four Quad
Knobs/Buttons [1] – [4] located toward the right of the front panel. The Display
constantly informs you of the S4 Plus's status.

Note: This illustration shows all display flags turned on at once. Actual displays show
only some of these at any time.
The display has eight main sections:
•
MIDI monitor and selection strip. Selects different MIDI channels for the
programs in Mix Play Mode (a thick underline indicates the selected channel),
monitors keyboard and incoming MIDI activity (thick lines above active channel
numbers indicates activity either from the keyboard or MIDI In), and chooses the
basic MIDI channel in Program Play Mode.
•
Current Mix, Program and Effect strip. Shows the currently selected Mix
and/or Program and its associated Effect.
•
Editing Status. Indicates what you are editing (either Mix Edit, Program Edit, or
Effects Edit), after pressing [SELECT]. "1 2 3 4" indicates which Sound (1–4) is
selected for editing when in Program Edit mode; or, which effect send (1–4) is
selected for editing when in Effects Edit mode. Press [EDIT 1] to cycle through
the four Sounds/sends. When Edit 4 mode is selected (press [EDIT 4]), all four
numbers appear, to indicate that all four Sounds are available for simultaneous
editing (Edit 4 mode is available in Program Edit mode only).
•
Functions list. Displays the various editing functions available in a particular
editing mode. Use the FUNCTION [¨] and [Æ] buttons to select a function, as
indicated by the small line (cursor) underneath one of the words in the list. When
a function is chosen, the page number strip and right-hand side of the display will
show values related to that function. Only the functions used by the current edit
mode will be displayed and selectable. Functions can also be selected from the
DIRECT SELECT buttons (see page 31).
•
Page number strip. Some functions have too many options to fit on a single
screen. These functions use multiple screens, with each screen considered a
page . This strip shows which page is selected by underlining the page number.
The PAGE [¨] and [Æ] buttons allow you to select a page.
