Advancing the Cursor
Another way to advance the cursor is to push Knob 2. Each push moves the cursor one
position to the right. This means that you can change the entire name using just Knob
2: turn the knob to change the current character, then push it to move to the next
character.
Entering a Space Character
You can enter a space character by pressing Knob 1. A space appears at the cursor posi-
tion, and the cursor automatically advances to the next position. (It is also possible to
select the space character by turning Knob 2, but this will take you more time.)
Interposing a Space Character
You can interpose space characters at the current cursor position by turning Knob 3 to
select <SPACE>, then pressing Knob 3 to enter the space. All characters from the cur-
sor position onward jump ahead one position to make room for the new space.
Deleting a Character
First turn Knob 3 to select <DELETE>. You can then press Knob 3 to delete the character
at the current cursor position. Characters located to the right of the cursor move back
one space to fill in the gap.
Replacing with Most Recent Name ("Pasting")
This A3000 stores the most recently entered name into a special "paste" buffer. When
you are ready to enter another name, you can insert the buffer content by turning Knob
3 to select <PASTE>, and then pressing Knob 3 to execute. This operation deletes the
current name and replaces it with the paste string. Note that current cursor position
has no effect on this operation.
This feature makes it easy to enter a number of similar names. You might name your
first sample "Piano 1", for example. When you are ready to name the next sample, you
could simply paste in the name "Piano 1" and then change the last character to "2". This
is faster than entering the entire name one character at a time.
Canceling Your Input
You can cancel the name change and return to the previous screen by pressing Knob 4
(>EXIT). You can also cancel the entry by simply moving to a different screen without
first pressing Knob 5 (>OK).
Registering the Name Change
The new name does not become effective until you press Knob 5 (>OK). Pressing this
knob registers the new name, updates the contents of the paste buffer, and returns you
to the previous screen.
