Selecting patterns using
this method allows you to see
the current and next pattern
numbers.
These very handy buttons, located to the left of the LCD, serve as a shortcut
to increment or decrement the Track (in Pattern mode), the MIDI Channel
(in Preset mode), Layer (in Preset Edit mode) or Step Numbers (in Arpeg-
giator Edit mode).
Pressing the increment track button from 16 will wrap around to 1, and
pressing the decrement key from 1 will wrap back to 16. Channel selection
works in the same way.
The data entry control is a stepped, variable control switch used to change
parameter values. The wheel increments or decrements the current value
one unit with each click. This control incorporates acceleration, which
advances the value faster if the data entry control is turned quickly.
These buttons move the cursor to the next parameter on the display. (The
cursor is a little flashing line underneath one of the parameters in the
display.) Press either cursor button until the cursor is underneath the
desired parameter. The cursor buttons have an auto-repeat feature which
advances the cursor when the button is held continuously.
The cursor can be moved bidirectionally using the data entry control while
either cursor select button is held down (for example, press and hold the
right cursor button and turn the data entry control).
The numeric LED display in the center of the PX-7 can display: Tempo,
Pattern Number, the current Bar/Beat, or the MIDI Channel. Repeatedly
pressing the Select button cycles through the four modes.
Pressing the Edit button lights its associated LED and allows you to edit the
displayed value using the data entry control. Pressing Edit again deactivates
this mode. To select a new pattern, you must exit Edit mode for the new
pattern to be selected.
By pressing and holding the Edit button, and then turning the data entry
control, the displayed parameter can be quickly edited without latching the
Edit mode on.
