Assignable sliders
These sliders can be used as virtual harmonic bars
(when the [HARMONIC¥BAR] button lights). In that
case, refer to the footage indications above the slid-
ers for their specific function (page 33).
Note: The HARMONIC BAR function is only available for the
following parts: UP1, LW1 and MBS.
V
TYPE buttons
The TYPE buttons are used to select the parameter
that can be changed using the sliders (stereo position
or volume, reverb or chorus).
W
MODE buttons
These four buttons allow you to specify the part
group whose settings you want to change: [SONG]
(Recorder parts), [STYLE] (Arranger parts), [PART]
(Keyboard parts), and [HARMONIC¥BAR].
X
USER PROGRAM section
These buttons allow you to select the desired User
Program (registration memory). Press the [LIST] but-
ton to call up the display page where you can select
the desired User Program and save your current
panel settings to a User Program. You can also select
the previous ([DOWN]) or next ([UP]) User Program.
By pressing these two buttons simultaneously, you
leave the User Program environment.
The [HOLD] button allows you to ignore several set-
tings of subsequently loaded User Programs (see
p. 129).
Y
DATA ENTRY section
The dial can be used to set the value of the parameter
field that is currently highlighted. Turn it to scroll
through the available settings. You can also press it
to call up a numeric key pad that allows you to enter
the desired value by pressing the corresponding fields
in the display.
To change the selected value in small steps, press
[DEC] (lower value) or [INC] (higher value). The
[ß][†][®][√] buttons are used to select a parameter for
editing (something you can also do by pressing the
corresponding display field).
While the main page is displayed, the [DATA÷ENTRY]
dial and [DEC]/[INC] buttons also allow you to set the
tempo.
Z
FINDER section
Press one of these buttons to quickly locate songs
([SONG]), Music Styles ([STYLE]) or User Programs
([USER¥PRG]) in the internal memory, on floppy disk
or an external memory card. See pages 42, 95 and
127.
a
TONE section
The TONE buttons allow you to select one of 16 inter-
nal Tone families. You can then use the display to
specify the desired sound within that family.
The [SRX¥EXPANSION] button is only available after
you install one or two optional wave expansion
boards into the E-80. After doing so, you can alter-
nate between the first (“A”) and the second (“B”)
board by pressing this button repeatedly.
