About the menus

The 788 uses a menu interface to display and select
operations that you cannot carry out using the front
panel keys.
The dial is often used to scroll through a
JOG/DATA
list. When the dial can be used, the screen will usu-
ally show a small icon representing the dial (as
shown at on the left of the screen).

Selecting multiple entries

Sometimes multiple entries can be selected from a
list (for instance, when copying songs). In this case,
the selected entries in the list are shown by a check
mark (✔) beside the list entry.

The MENU key

The key allows you to make settings with the
MENU
"system" menus.
These menus provide access to system-level settings
that you will probably not use very often (for
instance, you will only create a song once in the life-
time of a song).
