4 Dial Function
Indicates the function assigned to the data dial. The circle
is shown at left of the active function. You can change the
dial function by pressing the [SF4] button only when “Dial”
is shown on the tab corresponding to the [SF4] button.
When no channel is selected on the display, the song
location function is assigned to the data dial, regardless of
the [SF4] tab indication, even if the edit parameter is set
here. Controlling any knob changes the function of the data
dial automatically to the edit parameter, allowing you to edit
the channel parameter of the knob.
