EDIT edit
Above the Buttons. Written above the buttons are abbreviations for the K150X's different editors. The EDIT button gives
you access to the K150X's editors. You access the editors by pressing the EDIT button first, and then the button below the
abbreviation. (If you've ever used a scientific calculator, in which keys have different meanings depending on whether
you've pushed the "function" key, this works the same way.) For instance, pressing EDIT F2 selects TUNE, the Master
Tuning Editor. The editors are summarized in Table 2-2.

The Right Button-pad
There are numbers printed on most of the buttons of the right button-pad. You use these buttons to enter values after you've
selected parameters to change with the left button-pad. The new values don't take effect until you press the ENTR button.
Three of the buttons, ENTR, 0, and -, have special meanings:
ENTR
You'll be using the ENTR button often. Pressing ENTR means different things at different times:
enter a selected editor
indicate you're finished entering a value; Use ENTR after entering a number to let the K150X know you're
finished. If you've used a computer before, think of ENTR as the RETURN button of a computer when used in
this context. If nothing seems to be happening, try pressing the ENTR button. (Don't worry, you can always
press undo to undo the change.)
0
The 0 button serves 2 different purposes:
enters 0 for numeric values
answers "Yes" to K150X questions (the sign button, - is "no".)
- (The sign button)
decrement the value (i.e. lower it)
clear the value (usually to 0)
advance to the next parameter (i.e. step forward through the options)
go back to the last parameter (i.e. step backward through the options)
