62 CHAPTER 6
Operation
Once you've selected a parameter group
or section, the individual LEDs located
next to the knobs indicate whether or
not the knobs are assigned a function in
the currently active menu.
This means that if, for example, you edit
LFO 3 in the LFO section, then the
parameters Rate, Shape and Keyfollow
are directly accessible as is the case with
LFO 2. However, LFO 3 does not feature
the Contour parameter. Consequently,
the LED of the Contour knob will not
light up since the knob serves no func-
tion in this situation.
If you press the PARAMETER buttons
briefly, you can scroll through the
parameters contained in the selected dis-
play menu step by step in the desired
direction. If you press and hold one of
the parameter buttons for a bit longer,
the display will automatically scroll
through the list of parameters in the
given menu. When you press and hold
one PARAMETER button and then press
the other PARAMETER button, the dis-
play will scroll through the menu in
parameter groups in the direction of the
button that you are holding down. This
handy feature lets you swiftly go from
one parameter type to another, for
instance, from all chorus-related to all
delay-related parameters. If you also
hold the second parameter button
down, the menus will automatically
scroll in the selected direction. Once
you've scrolled to the desired parameter
group, simply select the desired parame-
ter by pressing the button briefly. You
can also step through the parameters by
repeatedly pressing the same menu but-
ton.
The menus, particularly the EFFECTS
menu, contain parameter groups that
are related by virtue of their function,
for instance, all parameters that are used
to control the chorus. When you switch
the chorus off (CHORUS Dry/Eff = OFF),
all chorus parameters are of course irrel-
evant and will no longer appear in the
menu. In other words, when the chorus
is disabled, you can't view its parame-
ters. The reason for this is to make
menus clearer and less cluttered.
