On each M/E bank and the PGM/PST bank, each cross-point button and reentry
button has two button numbers, and you use the shift button to switch between
these numbers.
In the case of a 32-button layout, the button numbers are as follows.

From the left end to the
31st button

Notes
You can use the rightmost button (number 32) as a [SIDE FLAG] button. In
this case, the shift button moves one to the left, to number 31, and the button
numbers are offset by one.
For details of the [SIDE FLAG] button, see "Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign
Menu)" in Chapter 19 (Volume 3).
Switching button numbers
The rightmost (32nd) button functions as a shift button.
(The shift button function can be disabled in a Setup menu.)
When selecting the signals of button numbers 1 to 31, press the cross-point
button for the desired signal.
To select button numbers 32 to 62, hold down the shift button, and press the
cross-point button for the desired signal.
