1.3 Navigating Within A Screen; Changing Parameter Values; The All-Important Exit Button; The Panic Button - Peavey DPM C8 User Manual

1.3 NAVIGATING WITHIN A SCREEN
When a parameter is highlighted by die moveable cursor, that parameter is available for editing. There are
three main ways to move the cursor: the four arrow buttons, optional mouse (C8 only), or optional trackball
(C8 only).
The up/down arrow buttons move the cursor up and down within a column of parameters. The left/right
arrow buttons move the cursor left and right if a screen has more than one column of parameters. For screens
with a single column of parameters, the left/right buttons move the cursor vertically and also allow the cursor
to 'wrap around" from the top to bottom or bottom to top.
The mouse or trackball works as it would with a computer: roll the mouse or trackball to move the cursor
to a particular parameter.
1.4 CHANGING PARAMETER VALUES
To change a parameter's value after selecting it, use the Inc/Dec buttons, data wheel (C8p only), direct
numerical entry or the data slider (the default is slider 1, but any other slider, or none at all, can be used,
see Section 4.2 for more information).
Press Inc or Dec once to change die values one digit at a time; press and hold die button to scroll dirough values.
Shortcut:
To accelerate the Inc or Dec button scrolling speed, press the other button while holding the first
button.
Example:
To speed up the Inc button scrolling, while pressing and holding Inc, press Dec.
For direct entry, type the number you want and press the Enter button to keep it or the Exit button to cancel.
(The field will blink to remind you that you must press either of these buttons.) To enter negative numbers
(e g.., for Transpose), you must first type at least one digit of the number to get into numeric entry mode,
after which the -/dec button will toggle the number between negative and positive.
For example, to enter a -48, either of the following methods is acceptable:
Press "4/ "8,"
Press "4," V "8"
With a mouse or trackball, after selecting the parameter, click and hold die mouse/trackball's left hand
button, then drag the mouse up (or rotate the trackball away from you) to increase the parameter value,
or drag the mouse down (or rotate the trackball toward you) to decrease the value.

THE ALL-IMPORTANT EXIT BUTTON
To exit from any screen back to the previous screen, press the Exit button. You can always go from any screen
back to the main Preset selection screen by repeatedly pressing Exit until die main Preset selection screen appears.

THE PANIC BUTTON
If a device receives a MIDI note on message without a corresponding note off message, that note can become
"stuck" on. To unstick any notes, simply press the Panic button. A short press sends a MIDI all notes off
