Nuts and Bolts
Let’s take a break from the fun and games for a moment. Check out the fol-
lowing functions and familiarize yourself with them — they’re very useful,
convenient tools you’ll need as you work with the AN200.
21 Show Value
Sometimes you’ll want to see what value a knob or button has been set to. Remember that when you call up
different Patterns, the knobs won’t correspond to the settings, so just looking at the knobs won’t help. And
if you turn the knob or press the button, you’re likely to change the setting. What’s a poor knob twister to
do?
Use the Show Value function. This convenient tool lets you see virtually any of the Voice-related settings —
without disturbing or changing them.
1 While you’re editing the Voice of a Pattern, press the [SHOW VALUE] but-
ton.
2 Simply turn the knob of the parameter whose value you’d like to see.
For example, to see the Portamento Time value that’s been set for the Voice, turn the [PORTAMENTO]
knob.
Naturally, Show Value can be used with all Voice-related buttons as well. For example, to see the current
setting of the VCO 1 Wave, press the VCO 1 [WAVE] button.
For buttons that have multiple parameters (such as LFO [DETAIL] or FREE EG [MODE]), press the button
repeatedly to call up the desired parameter.
Display flashes and indi-
cates the currently set
value for the parameter
(in this case, Porta-
mento).
