Overview: Chapter 4
The upper-right section of the display will indicate the currently selected page
number. Each page provides a different parameter. The parameter’s name will
appear in the bottom section of the display. Press the [PAGE ] button to select
the next higher-numbered page, and [ PAGE] to select the next lower-
numbered page. Press both [ PAGE] and [PAGE ] simultaneously to get
back to the first page of the selected function.
Change the parameter value.
You can edit the value either by moving the [CONTROLLER D] slider (for large
value changes) or pressing the [s VALUE] and [VALUE t] buttons (for smaller
changes).
SELECTING FUNCTIONS AND PARAMETERS
When editing a Mix, a Program or a Program’s Effects, the 23 buttons located on the
right side of the front panel provide direct selection of edit Functions, the 4 Sounds
within a Program (in Program Edit Mode) and the 16 Channels within a Mix (in Mix
Edit Mode). This means you can quickly get to the Function/Sound/Channel you want
to edit. The Functions available for direct selection are printed on the front panel
adjacent to each button. Many Functions provide more than one parameter, and so
have multiple pages available. Use the [ PAGE] and [PAGE ] buttons to move
forwards and backwards through the available pages. The number of available pages
will change depending on which Function you have selected. The Direct Select
Functions are shown in the table below.
