Other control screens
There are a number of dedicated menus and screens
available, which are accessed with the following
keys. These are all described in the appropriate sec-
tions of this manual:
Selecting parameters
If there are many parameters on a screen, use the cur-
sor keys to highlight the parameter you want to
change before setting the value with the dial.
Here, the two PAN values can be highlighted, and
changed with the dial. In the example above, the pan
value of channel 1 is highlighted for editing.
Sometimes there are tabs at the top of the screen.
Use the Ó and Á cursor keys to select the tab where
you will be making the change.
Here, the left and right keys are used to select the tab
from 1 through 8 at the top of the screen (tab 1 is
selected in this screen).
The virtual tracks are then selected with the dial.
Setting values
When a value is to be changed, use the JOG/DATA
dial to change the value.
The
ENTER key is often used as a yes key to
answer questions like
Are you sure?
which may sometimes be shown on screen (for
example, the screen below).
If you change your mind about carrying out an opera-
tion, use the
EXIT key.
The
EXIT key can also be used as a no key to
answer on-screen questions.
