Data Entry

Numeric value insertion, function and parameter selection is carried out as follows.
After selecting a function with the corresponding arrowhead, it is possible to:
-
change Page (where two or more pages are present) with the PAGE buttons,
-
enter data (change parameter values) with the DIAL or the + / – buttons of the right
numeric selection keypad.
For example: to assign a different Sound to a track, first select the track with the correspond-
ing function button (F1 ... F9). The selected track starts to flash in the track display zone,
indicating that it is ready to accept a modification (in this case, the PERF function must not
be selected and the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY function must be off).
Several panel buttons, if held pressed for about 2 seconds, gain direct access to the modi-
fication of the parameters of the selected function. These buttons are:
STORE PERFORMANCE, STYLE/TEMPO LOCK, ARRANGE ON/OFF, HARMONY,
REVERB, CHORUS, RECORD (Sequencer mode).

INSERTING ALPHANUMERIC DATA

In name writing situations (Performances, Song Styles, Disk or Hard Disk Save operations,
the keyboard activates as a source of alphanumeric data. Each note of the keyboard corre-
sponds to a letter of the alphabet or a number.
Up to 7 characters can be entered for a name (8 characters in FD and HD mode).
The following illustration shows the configuration of the alphanumeric data of the keyboard.
The notes on the extreme left provide some word processing functions:
• D2:
CAPS - Toggles between Capitals On and Capitals Off.
• D#2:INS/OVER - Toggles between Insert and Overwrite. Insert inserts a character
between two entries. Overwrite cancels a character at the cursor
position. By default, the status of this parameter is in Overwrite mode.
• E2:
SPACE - inserts a space
• F2:
DELETE - cancels an entry at the flashing cursor position.
• G2:
<— (BACKSPACE) - cancels the previous entry.
Use the + and – buttons of the Sound numeric selection keypad to move the flashing cursor
in left-right directions.
Press ESCAPE to close the page.
Press STORE PERFORMANCE then ENTER to store the new name to the Performance.

ENTER / ESCAPE

ENTER confirms an operation and the values assigned to modified parameters. In some
function pages, Enter confirms a parameter value and executes an operation (for example,
a Load operation in the Disk environment). Enter also gains entry to the Disk or MIDI
environment.
ESCAPE cancels a selected operation or the values assigned to a selected parameter.
