EDITING M20 OPERATING PARAMETERS

3.1THE KEYPAD

The keypad block contains switches for editing the various parameters that control the M20’s features.

3.1A 0 THROUGH 9 BUTTONS

Use the 10 numeric keys to enter number parameter values and letters for names. When editing a parameter value, pressing a key enters its associated number. When editing a name, pressing a key cycles through the letters indicated on the keycap (e.g., pressing 7 repeatedly cycles through 7, s, t, u, v, 7, s, t…etc.).

3.1B UP ARROW/YES/UPPER CASE

This key:

Increments parameter values, as well as scrolls up through a list of parameter values. Holding this button for 2 or more seconds increases the speed at which the values increment. After 7 seconds, this speed increases again.

Enters “Yes” in response to Yes/No queries.

In a sign (polarity) field, selects the positive (+) sign.

In a name field, changes lower case letters to UPPER CASE.

3.1C DOWN ARROW/NO/LOWER CASE

This key:

Decrements parameter values, as well as scrolls down through a list of parameter values. Holding this button for 2 or more seconds increases the speed at which the values decrement. After 7 seconds, this speed increases again.

Enters “No” in response to Yes/No queries.

In a sign (polarity) field, selects the negative (-) sign.

In a name field, changes UPPER CASE letters to lower case.
