Front panel

We divide the front panel into three parts and describe names and functions of controls for each section.

*Some keys have the secondary function which is available when the SHIFT indicator is lit, while the primary function is available when the SHIFT indicator is unlit. In this manual, we sometimes say "when shifted" and "when unshifted" instead of "when the SHIFT indicator is lit" and "when the SHIFT indicator is unlit" respec- tively.
