Name strip. When in Mix Play Mode, the name of the currently selected Mix will
appear here. Likewise, when in Program Play Mode, the name of the currently
selected Program will appear here. In any Edit mode or Store mode, the name of
the currently selected parameter will appear here indicating it is selected for
editing using the VALUE [¨] and [Æ] buttons.
Quad Knob/Button Label strip. This line is used to show the labels of the bar
graph meters, which determine the functions of the four Quad Knobs and
Buttons. These labels change depending on which function and page is currently
selected. The labels are abbreviations of the parameters; the complete name
(and value) of a selected parameter will appear in the Name strip.
Quad Knob bar graph meters. When a Quad Knob controls a function's
parameter, an associated bar graph appears which reflects the Knob's setting.
Note: Not all four Quad Knobs are active in all pages. If a single line appears
somewhere in the bargraph area, it indicates its corresponding Quad Knob is
active.

MIDI Buttons

The MIDI [¨] and [Æ] buttons serve two purposes. In Program Play Mode, they select the
basic MIDI channel the S4 Plus will receive and transmit MIDI messages on. In Mix Play
Mode, they are used to select one of the 16 Channels for viewing and editing.
For more information on MIDI and its uses, see Chapters 8 and 9, and Appendix B.

Quad Knob Editing

The Quad Knobs have two editing modes: Immediate and Pass-thru. When using the
Quad Knobs to adjust parameter values, you may prefer using one mode over the
other. When set to Immediate, parameter values jump immediately to the Quad
Knob's exact position the moment it is moved. When set to Pass-thru, the Quad Knob
must be turned beyond the parameter's current setting before it becomes "live" and
begins adjusting the parameter's value.
The editing mode is set in Global Edit mode, Page 2, using Quad Knob [3]. For more
information about selecting the Quad Knobs' editing mode, see Chapter 8.
