24. Rotary encoder and [CURSOR] keys
The rotary dynamic Encoder allows you to select the Program or Timbre of your choice, to increase
or decrease the value of the parameter currently selected or to position the cursor on the chosen
field in the option selection menu (e.g. in the Edit Program Menu). The [CURSOR] keys provide
the same cursor positioning function.
25. Number keypad
Number keypad for entering the values of parameters or for typing the names of Programs and
Timbres during saving operations. You will press the [ENTER] button to confirm settings made or
to start procedures when the system prompts this. There is also a [BANK] button for selecting the
Program or Timbre memory bank, and + and – signs for entering number values where negative
and positive values are present.
26. AUTOMATION section
This section actually contains two different functions. The first relates to the Morph, meaning the
possibility of passing from one Program or Timbre to another in a programmable period of time or
using the [MODULATION] wheel, while the second relates to the Motion, or two memory locations
in which all the movements carried out on the panel controls over a given period of time can be
recorded. You can use [AUTO] and [MANUAL] buttons to recall the automatic or manual Morph
functions, while the [ENABLE] key allows you to start the procedure concerned.
The [LOC1] and [LOC2] can be used to recall one of the two Motion Locations, while the [REC]
key enables recording of the movements of the panel controls.
