Entering Characters - Yamaha VP-1 Owner's Manual

Entering Characters

Some functions allow you to input a name or include a comment. The Store function,
for example, allows you to enter a new voice name, while disk functions allow you to
name or rename a file.
As an example, consider the following screen. This type of screen appears when you
are about to store a voice to memory. You use this screen to set or change the voice
name, as explained below.
Selecting the character
Use the dial or the
INC/YES
character list. As you move through the selections, the character marked by the top
cursor (here, the underlined "W" in the name "Waterbell") changes accordingly.
Selecting the character position
Use the and cursor buttons to move the top cursor (in the voice name, on the
second line of the display) to the letter that you want to set or change. In the example
above, the cursor is at the first character position.
Entering a space
Pressing :{Spc} will change the currently marked character to a space. The
F7
cursor automatically advances to the next character.
Clearing the current name
Pressing F8 :{Clr} will delete all selected characters. The cursor returns to the
leftmost character position.
Entering the name
When you have finished entry, press
previous screen.
Important
• The VP1 ensures that filenames conform to MS-DOS standards. It will not allow
you to use lowercase letters and unsupported symbols within these names.
• Filenames cannot start with a space. If you enter a space in the middle of a
filename, the VP1 automatically converts the space into an underscore character.
(If you leave the entire name blank, the VP1 converts the name to a string of
hyphens.)
