Overview: Chapter 4

The upper-right section of the display will indicate the currently selected page number. Each page provides a different parameter. The parameter’s name will appear in the bottom section of the display. Press the [PAGE] button to select the next higher-numbered page, and [ PAGE] to select the next lower- numbered page. Press both [ PAGE] and [PAGE] simultaneously to get back to the first page of the selected function.

√Change the parameter value.

You can edit the value either by moving the [CONTROLLER D] slider (for large value changes) or pressing the [s VALUE] and [VALUE t] buttons (for smaller changes).

SELECTING FUNCTIONS AND PARAMETERS

When editing a Mix, a Program or a Program’s Effects, the 23 buttons located on the right side of the front panel provide direct selection of edit Functions, the 4 Sounds within a Program (in Program Edit Mode) and the 16 Channels within a Mix (in Mix Edit Mode). This means you can quickly get to the Function/Sound/Channel you want to edit. The Functions available for direct selection are printed on the front panel adjacent to each button. Many Functions provide more than one parameter, and so have multiple pages available. Use the [ PAGE] and [PAGE] buttons to move forwards and backwards through the available pages. The number of available pages will change depending on which Function you have selected. The Direct Select Functions are shown in the table below.
