If you are carrying out editing operations which require changing display pages a lot, these can
save a lot of time and effort. Pressing the MARK/# button when the cursor is on a field will
cause the S3200XL to remember the position of the cursor, and pressing JUMP/. will take the
cursor back to the MARK(ed) position from any other page. Pressing JUMP/. again will take
you back to the page and function you were at before you JUMP(ed).
You can reset the MARK position at any time. This position is lost when the power is turned
off. At power-on, this position defaults to the program select field in the initial SINGLE mode.

NAMING FILES - THE NAME KEY

When samples, programs, effects or drum input settings are changed, they should be given a
name for easy reference.
Pressing the NAME button in certain pages will enable you to name the data and you will notice
that each button has a letter following its primary function (i.e. SAMPLE/
to 12 characters (uppercase only) are entered by pressing the front panel buttons (although
you may also scroll through letters and numbers using the DATA control). When actually
entering names, pressing the NAME button will switch the function of the numeric keypad
between letters and numbers. The CURSOR keys moves the cursor around inside the name
field when naming a sample or program.
When entering names in letter mode, the +/< and -/> buttons work as backspace and space-
bar buttons respectively (when in number mode, they enter the "+" and "-" characters), and the
MARK/# and JUMP/. keys enter "#" and "." respectively. The last button, ENT/PLAY, enters
and confirms the name and the S3200XL prompts you to either copy or rename the item.

THE ENT/PLAY KEY

Underneath the NAME key, you will see the ENT/PLAY key:
This is a dual-purpose button. When naming samples, programs, etc., pressing this button will
end the naming process in conjunction with COPY and REN(ame) as described above. In
other modes of operation, this key will play the sound at a pitch, velocity and MIDI channel as
set in the GLOBAL mode. The default may be freely set as you wish.
NOTE: When editing samples in EDIT SAMPLE, pressing this button will play back the sample
at its correct pitch and not necessarily the one set in the GLOBAL pages.

LCD CONTRAST

On top of POWER switch, you will find the DISPLAY CONTRAST CONTROL:
You may adjust the viewing angle for the screen using the DISPLAY CONTRAST control.
