Operating Conventions

There are several prompts, indicators, and ways of performing an action which are
common across many functions of the MX-2424. These are called operating
conventions and they help to streamline the MX-2424's interface. For example, the
Scrub Dial, the [Up Arrow] and [Down Arrow] work as navigation tools in every
window.

LED Conventions

• The primary function of a button is printed directly on the button itself.
• The shifted function of a button is printed on the front panel next to the button.
• A white line connecting an LED to a button shows that the LED is used for that
button. LED's always indicate primary button functions.
• A steadily lit LED means that the primary function of a button is active.
• A blinking or flashing LED is a prompt to press its associated button to perform the
action.

Changing Parameters

• Pressing [TRIM] allows parameters to be changed. You can press [SETUP] and
scroll to any system page, but until you press [TRIM], you can't change that page's
parameter.
• Press [TRIM] to change a project or track's name. For example, scroll to the
Rename window under the [PROJ/NEW] button, press [STORE/YES] then select
the project or track you want to rename and press [TRIM].
• An asterisk (
) in front of a parameter always indicates that it is the current setting.
*
When you press [TRIM] to edit enable a parameter, changing that parameter causes
the asterisk to disappear. When you make the new parameter current, by pressing
[STORE/YES], the asterisk reappears.
• To lock in a new value after making a change, you always press [STORE/YES]. The
[STORE/YES] LED will flash to prompt you.
• HOT TIP! — It is not necessary to press [STORE/YES] when changing the value of
menu 006, Varispeed Rate or menu 920, LED Brightness.
