The TIME / VALUE dial
Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change a value on the display.
Turning the TIME/VALUE dial counterclockwise decreases
a value; turning it clockwise increases it. Value changes are
usually in single increment steps. If you hold SHIFT and turn
the dial, values will increase or decrease by ten times (or one
tenth) the normal rate, depending on the parameter.

Most value changes can be made while the VS-1680 is
playing. However, you must first press [STOP] before
changing V-Tracks and before changing mixer Scenes.
[ENTER/YES]
The [ENTER (YES)] button is used to respond to an onscreen
prompt. For example, if "Store Current?" is displayed, you
can press [ENTER (YES)] to save your song in its current
state. On some screens, [ENTER (YES)] will be blinking. In
that case, pressing [ENTER (YES)] will allow you to view
more information than is presently shown on the display. For
example, when making changes to the EQ of a track, press
the blinking [ENTER (YES)] button to see the pop-up EQ
curve. To cancel the operation, press [NO].
[PLAY (DISPLAY)]
Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the startup playlist
display. Anytime you are in the middle of making a setting,
and you want to get back to the startup screen, just press
[PLAY (DISPLAY)]. It also helps to think of [PLAY
(DISPLAY)] as an "escape" button.

performance, a time stamp consisting of the time, day, and
month of recording is entered automatically. This allows you

following procedure to set the time and date in your VS-1680.
