The [ ] and [ ] buttons immediately to the right of the MULTI DIS-
PLAY can be used to increment (increase by one) or decrement (decrease
by one) the currently selected parameter. Press the [ ] button briefly to in-
crement the parameter value, or the [ ] button to decrement. If you hold the
[ ] or [ ] button down, the value will increment or decrement continuously
— simply release the button when the desired value has been reached.
The number buttons — to the right of the [ ] and [ ] buttons — allow
direct numeric entry of the desired value, and are therefore the fastest way
to edit in many situations.
To select a voice, for example, choose one of the 128 voices — num-
bered "01" through "128" — shown on the panel VOICE list, then enter its
number using the number buttons. To select "HARMONICA" (number 23),
for example, first press [2] then [3]. The number "23" should then appear
on the MULTI DISPLAY.
The [ / ] button is used to switch between positive and negative values
with parameters that allow negative values (Transpose, Tuning, Octave, and
Pan, for example). A " " appears before negative values on the MULTI
DISPLAY.
When selecting voice numbers the [ / ] button is used to enter the hun-
dreds digit of the voice number (the button alternately selects no hundreds
digit or "1"), as required, prior to entering the tens and ones digits. The [1]
number button cannot be used to enter the hundreds digit when selecting
voices.
Values outside the range of the selected parameter can not be entered.
This is undoubtedly the easiest way to edit most parameters. Simply ro-
tate the dial clockwise to increment or counter-clockwise to decrement.
