h Key status display
For each of the next transition selection
buttons, [KEY1] to [KEY4], the
corresponding ON indicator lights when the
key is inserted. It also shows the priority (1
to 4) of each key.
i PRIOR (priority) SET button
While this button is held down, you can set
the key priority.
The setting mode when this button is
pressed depends on whether or not the
[KEY PRIOR] button is lit, as follows.
• When the [KEY PRIOR] button is off, the
current key priority is set.
• When the [KEY PRIOR] button is lit, the
key priority after the next transition is set.
Press the [KEY PRIOR] button as required,
to switch between these two modes.
In either mode, hold down the [PRIOR
SET] button, and press the button ([KEY1]
to [KEY8]) corresponding to the key you
want to bring to the front.
Notes
The key priority establishes a separate
priority order within each of the groups of
keys 1 to 4 and keys 5 to 8. You can make
any setting within the groups of keys 1 to 4
or keys 5 to 8, but not for combinations of
keys from different groups. For example, it
is not possible to set a priority sequence of
keys 1, 5, and 2.
For details, see "Setting the Key Priority in
the Transition Control Block" (page 163).
The following controls are used as the
independent key transition control block.
j Key delegation buttons
These buttons delegate this independent
key transition control block to a desired
keyer. Press one of the [KEY1] to [KEY8]
buttons ([DSK1] to [DSK8] in the PGM/
PST bank), turning it on.
