How to Use Knob Hold to Maintain Control of a Function's Value When Another Function Is Active
Knob Hold is a way to maintain Knob control over one function while acquiring the
ability to change another function's value with the Step and Data keys and the Off/On
key. Knob Hold can be turned on by:
Selecting the desired active function, then HOLD
«(
SHIFT I
G ), (
OFF ON ).
Knob Control is "held" on the selected function as indicated by the two cursors over
that "held" function. Selecting a different functIOn key sets that different function as
the active function (which can be acted on only by the Step keys, or Data keys, or the
Off/On key). Knob control does not transfer to this new active function, but stays with
the function that was active when Knob Hold was selected. (During Knob Hold, a
function with just one cursor is not controlled by the Knob; the function having two
cursors is controlled by the Knob.)
Turn off Knob Hold by selecting Knob HOLD ([
