Data Entry; The Alphanumeric Pad - Kurzweil PC3LE6 Musician's Manual

Data Entry

The data entry section of the front panel includes the Alpha wheel, the -/+ buttons, and the
alphanumeric pad (the Shift functions of the Category buttons.)
The Alpha Wheel
The Alpha Wheel (see below) is located to the right of the display. It is useful to quickly enter
large or small changes in value. If you turn the Alpha Wheel one click to the right, you'll
increase the value of the currently selected parameter by one increment. One click to the left
decreases the value by one increment. If you turn it rapidly, you'll jump by several increments.
You can also use the Alpha Wheel to enter names when you're saving objects.
The -/ + Buttons
The -/+ buttons are located just under the Alpha Wheel (see above.) The "+" (plus) button
increases the value of the currently selected parameter by one, and the "-" (minus) button
decreases it by one. These buttons are most useful when you're scrolling through a short list of
values, or when you want to be sure you're changing the value by one increment at a time. One
press of the plus or minus button corresponds to one click to the right or left with the Alpha
Wheel. These buttons will repeat if pressed and held.
Pressing the plus and minus buttons simultaneously will move you through the current list of
values in large chunks instead of one by one. Don't confuse these buttons with the +/- button in
the category buttons. That category button is used primarily for entering negative numeric
values and switching from uppercase to lowercase letters (and vice versa).

The Alphanumeric Pad

When you press the Shift button on the bottom row of the Category buttons, you can use the
Category buttons as an alphanumeric pad to enter numeric values, and enter names one letter at
a time. Pressing the Shift button lights its LED, indicating that the category buttons will
correspond to the numbers, letters, and other functions printed on the buttons. On the main
page for Program mode, the category buttons choose the program category, and you must press
the Category Shift button to enter numbers. On the Quick Access mode main page, the
numbered category buttons select Quick Access programs based on how programs are laid out
on the display, with no need to press the Shift button. In Master and Storage modes, as well as
