Program: Menu Command

ENTER + 0–9: shortcuts for menu com-
mands
Each page has a set of menu commands, which provide
access to different utilities, commands, and options,
depending on the page you're currently on. You can use the
menu commands entirely from the touch-screen, by pressing
the menu button in the upper right-hand corner of the
screen and then selecting an option from the menu that
appears.
Even though each page may have its own unique menu
commands, the menus are standardized as much as
possible. For instance, WRITE is almost always the first
menu item in Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes.
You can take advantage of this standardization by using a
shortcut to access any of the first ten menu items:
1. Hold down the ENTER switch.
2. Press a number (0–9) on the numeric keypad to select
the desired menu command, starting with 0.
For instance, press 0 for the first menu command, 1 for the
second, and so on.
If the menu command just toggles an option on and off
(such as Exclusive Solo), then you're done. If the command
calls up a dialog box, the dialog will appear on the display,
and you can proceed just as if you'd selected the command
from the touch-screen.
Tip: While this command is open, the ENTER switch will
operate as the OK button and the EXIT switch will operate
as the Cancel button.
Write Program
This command writes an edited Program into the M3
internal memory. It is available on every page in Program
mode.
Write Program lets you:
• Save your edits
• Rename the Program
• Assign the Program to a Category
• Copy the Program to a different Bank and number
Be sure to Write any Program that you wish to keep. An
edited Program cannot be recovered if you do not write
it before turning off the power or selecting another
Program.
1. Select "Write Program" to open the dialog box.
2. The upper line of the dialog shows the Bank, number,
and Program name.
If you wish to modify the program name, press the text edit
button to move to the text edit dialog box, and enter the
desired program name.

3. In Category and Sub Category, specify the category of
the program that you are writing.
The category can be used to find this Program when
selecting a program in Program, Combination, or Sequencer
modes.
Note: You can edit these category names in the Global P4:
Category page. For more information, please see "4–1:
Program Main" and "4–2: Program Sub" on page 374.
4. Press "To Program" to specify the destination Bank and
number.
You can also use the BANK SELECT I-A–U-G switches to
select a bank.
Important: EDS Programs can only be written to EDS
Banks, and RADIAS Programs can only be written to
RADIAS Banks. For more information on the default
Bank types, and on how to change them, please see
"Bank (Bank Select)" on page 4.
5. To Write the Program, press the OK button. To cancel,
press the Cancel button.
Note: You can also use the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE
switch to write in the same way as Write Program. Press the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch to access the dialog box
and write the program. In this case, the settings will be
saved to the currently selected program. If the X–Y MODE is
on when you save, you'll need to use this method. While the
dialog box is open, the ENTER switch will operate as the OK
button, and the EXIT switch will operate as the Cancel
button.
Panel–SW Solo Mode On
When you select Panel–SW Solo Mode On and add a check
mark to the menu item, the MIX PLAY/MUTE 1–8 switches
will operate as Solo on/off.
If you've selected the CONTROL ASSIGN MIXER switch or
the corresponding Control Assign parameter, you'll be able
to control the Solo on/off status of the signals listed below.
Use the MIX PLAY/MUTE 1–8 switches or the Solo On/Off
buttons of the Control Surface page to switch Solo on/off.
Note: The Solo function applies to the following targets in
each mode. All are treated as a single group. If Exclusive
Solo is active, all other sources will be off if even one source
is being soloed.
