Button Operation and Displays

Operations common to all aspects of operating the TD-8.

Saving your settings

For operations within the TD-8, there is no procedure for "saving settings."
When you modify the value of a setting, the new value is automatically
saved as soon as you make the change. If you need to return to the factory
settings, you can re-initialize the TD-8 or re-initialize a single patch. See
"Restoring Settings to Their Default Values" (p. 172).

Buttons, sliders and knobs

Buttons, sliders and knobs on the front panel will be printed in square
brackets [ ]; e.g., [SETUP].
