Using the Assignable Buttons

MASTER CONTROL CARD PLAYER

There are two assignable buttons named

(ASSIGNABLE 1) and (ASSIGNABLE 2). The

(ASSIGNABLE 1) button is designed so it is on while pressed and off while released. The (ASSIGNABLE 2) button toggles on (lamp lit) and off (lamp unlit) each time it is pressed.

The main use of the assignable buttons is to perform real-time operations, mainly for effects. You can configure settings for the assignable button with the common menu (page E-18).

NOTE

For information about how to configure settings, see “To change common parameter settings” (page E-19).

The “Common Parameter Information” and “Zone Parameter Information” items in the explanations in this section show where you need to go for information about the parameters that come under an assignable function.
