are displayed above this value.

rently selected scene.
G Sampling Rate/Quantization Bits

H Main screen
The information displayed in this area will depend on the
key/knob that was last pressed. The following types of
object are displayed in the main screen.
● Cursor
The blinking frame within the dis-
play is called the “cursor.” When an
object in the screen is enclosed by
the cursor, that object is selected for
operation.
● Buttons
Buttons in the display are used to
switch a parameter on/off, to select
one of multiple choices, or to execute
a specific function. A button that is
currently on will be displayed in
“inverse” form (black background
with white text). A button that is cur-
rently off will be displayed in normal
form (black text against a white
background).
● Knob/parameter display area
The knob/parameter display area
within the display is used to edit the
value of the corresponding parame-
ter.
I Tabs
When a screen includes a number of pages, corresponding
tabs will appear along the bottom of the display. The tabs
are used to switch between the various pages related to the
current screen.
In some cases the tabs also become “additional function
buttons” when the [SHIFT] key is pressed. When addi-
tional functions are available an
mark will appear in
the lower left corner of the display.
