These keys move to the next or previous function
within the same level; i.e., they move from branch
to branch of the "function tree".
Jump/Mark:
The LCD of each function in the SY99 has a
"system page number", which is displayed at
the upper right of each LCD. If you know the
number of the page to which you want to jump;
press JUMP, use the numeric key pad to enter the
page number, press ENTER, and you will be
taken to the specified page. The page numbers
for each function are listed in the REFERENCE
section of this manual and on the supplied JOB
TABLE card.
You can press MARK while holding SHIFT to
mark the current page. A total of five pages can
be marked in this manner. To jump to one of
these five pages, press JUMP followed by the
function key (F1 to F5) which corresponds to the
desired page.
Data entry slider, data entry wheel, -1/+1:
The data entry slider, data entry wheel, and
-1/+1 keys are all used to modify the data value
indicated by the cursor.
When you move the DATA ENTRY slider, the
data is directly set to the value corresponding to
the slider position.
The data entry wheel can be rotated freely in
either direction, and will change the current data
value continuously. In job or voice directories it
will also move the cursor around the screen.
The -1/+1 buttons will decrease/increase the
current data value in steps of one. (These but-
tons also act as "yes/no" or "on/off" for various
functions.)
The data entry wheel and -1/+1 buttons can
also be used to select programs (voice or multi).
The slider, wheel, and -1/+1 will not neces-
sarily act in the same way for all functions.
Exceptions will be noted when each function is
explained.
Cursor keys:
Use these keys to move the cursor in the LCD to
select items or data. (Simply moving the cursor
will not modify the data.)

red. In addition, they have the following special
uses.
Voice edit mode: While you are editing an
AFM element, buttons 1-6 select operators 1-6,
and buttons 9—14 turn operators 1-6 on/off.
Sequencer mode: Buttons 1-16 will mute/
unmute tracks 1-16 in the play mode or select
tracks for recording in the record mode. The
LEDs will light green to indicate tracks which
contain data. Muted tracks which contain data

program select button 1-16 to select the channel
on which the SY99 will transmit MIDI mes-
sages. This also determines which channel of a
