the data can be modified with a touch area to the left
of the display. the function of the touch area is tailored
with a sophisticated system to match any parameter
situation. four touch areas are arranged side by side and
contain backlit symbols. the following figure illustrates the
possible gestures:
an upward or downward movement (wiping) acts as a
slider. the speed of movement has an influence on the
rate the values change. faster movements generate
larger changes in value. tap and hold on the arrow (up or
down) provides continuous data change until you release
or the end of the value range is reached. a single tap
on the arrow changes the value in the smallest possible
increments +/- 1.
if there is something to turn on or off, a dot appears in the
center and is active as a switch.
the display gives information about the respective
assignment. with this combination it's possible to work in
a very intuitive way.

all buttons are backlit, many are - especially in edit mode
- assigned with multiple functions which are reached by
pressing the buttons repeatedly. in the upper right corner
of the display some dots indicate the number of pages that
are assigned to the button and which of them is currently
active.
in this example the solid dot indicates that page 1 of 4
is selected.
as already mentioned, the four buttons combined under
"fM" provide quick access to the essential parameters of
the fM tone generator. in normal operation one of these
buttons is always active, which is signaled by its backlight.
at the same time, the touch panel displays its willingness
to change data by luminescent arrows.
if one of the arrows is touched, the associated parameter
is immediately changed. at the same time, the display
automatically switches to the corresponding parameter
display and shows the change in value.
on the far right on the control panel you will find the
button [store], which lets you store Voices.
as usual a name can be assigned and the target memory
slot can be choosen.
