Global Settings

These are settings related to the overall operation of the VS-
1680. Unlike system settings, these settings are not set on a
song-by-song basis.

Shift Lock

Many functions in the VS-1680 are accessed by holding
[SHIFT], and then pressing a second button. If you find it
inconvenient to use two hands, you can set Shift Lock to
temporarily lock in the [SHIFT] button. This allows you to
perform most [SHIFT] functions with one hand.
1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System
Menu icon is displayed. If the System Menu icon does
not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].
2. Press [F2 (GLOBL)]. If "GLOBL" does not appear above
[F2], first press [PAGE] until "GLOBL" appears, and then
press [F2 (GLOBL)].
3. Use [
], [ ], [
cursor to "Shift Lock."
4. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change the setting for Shift
Lock.

indicator is lit. The [SHIFT] state changes when another
button is pressed or the TIME/VALUE dial is turned.

When Holding Down [SHIFT]
If [SHIFT] is held down during an operation, the Shift
Lock function will be ignored. For example, if you hold
down [SHIFT] and press [F1 (SONG)], Shift Lock will not
be turned on when you release [SHIFT]. The function of
[SHIFT] itself remains in effect, so the Song Menu icon is
displayed.
In some cases, it is possible to quickly change value
settings by holding [SHIFT] while turning the TIME/
VALUE dial. Depending on what value is being
changed, holding [SHIFT] while turning the TIME/
VALUE dial will change the values by a factor of 10, or
in other cases, by a factor of 1/10.

Numerics Type

When using the Jump function, or typing in the values of a
punch-in point, you can use the LOCATOR buttons to enter
numbers directly. The setting for Numerics Type determines
how the numbers are entered.
1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System
Menu icon is displayed. If the System Menu icon does
not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].
2. Press [F2 (GLOBL)]. If "GLOBL" does not appear above
[F2], first press [PAGE] until "GLOBL" appears, and then
