Editing M20 Parameters, Chapter 3

3.1F ENTER/NAME

This key has two main uses:

∙Speed up numeric entry by eliminating the need for “leading zeroes.” For example, the varispeed setting is a 3-digit value. Instead of having to key in something like 0 - 0 - 9, you can simply key in 9, then press Enter.

∙Edit location point names. When the locate time is the currently selected field, pressing the Enter/Name button positions the cursor at the first character of the name. The cursor buttons now select individual characters within the name field or other displayed fields; use the keypad buttons to change the character. For upper case, use the Up Arrow. For lower case, use the Down Arrow.

To exit the name field, press the Enter/Name button again.

Using the default name list instead of entering letters individually: An additional name editing option is available. Holding down the Name button while using the Up/Down buttons scrolls through a default set of 16 generic names (e.g., Verse 1, Chorus, Bridge, etc.). This list may be customized for your working style.

To customize the default set of names:

1Select the default name to be changed.

2Edit it.

3To store the new name in the default name list, hold the Enter/Name button and press the Record button.
