Introduction to controls in Play Mode
Sliders and buttons
Moving a slider or pressing a button will display its assigned name and its
value as a decimal number on the LCD; the MIDI Out LED will also light up to
show that it is sending data.The Data Wheel can be used to scroll through
the 64 or 128 programs, and the 8 multi-function buttons beneath the LCD
operate as follows.
Function keys [F keys]
The four buttons directly below the LEDs can be used by themselves or in
conjunction with the [SHIFT] button to act as programmable function keys
and can generate any MIDI or internal data commands. Function key settings
are Global and do not change with the programs.These [F keys] have been
pre-programmed to provide Internal Clock controls and basic MMC control of
sequencers and recording devices, however the factory defaults can be
changed to provide other, user-defined operations.
The factory default settings for F keys are:
Without [SHIFT] With [SHIFT]
1 Continue – internal clock 5 MMC Rewind
2 Stop – internal clock 6 MMC Stop
3 Start – internal clock 7 MMC Play
4 Internal prog – go to prog 0 8 MMC Fast Forward
In various edit modes the function keys have other, preset uses.These
however cannot be altered by the user.
Edit buttons
The four buttons above the Data Wheel are known as the Edit buttons but
these are also useful in PLAY MODE as shown on the following page.
