<Character entry keys>

Some keys on the MR-8 top panel act as character entry keys in the menu mode. For example, the [PLAY MODE] key (shown at the left) can be used for entering A, B, C, a, b, c and 1.

Each press of a character entry key switches the character to be entered from among those assigned to the key.

The following procedure shows how to enter "Moonlit" as a song name.

1. Use the [AUTO PUNCH] key to enter "M".

2. Press the [CURSOR ] key to move the cursor right.

3. Use the [AUTO PUNCH] key to enter "o".

4. Press the [CURSOR ] key to move the cursor right.

5. Use the [AUTO PUNCH] key to enter "o".

<Notes on cursor movement>

Pressing a different character entry key automati- cally moves the cursor right.

You can use “+” for a song name with 8 or more characters. For example, you can enter “AAA+BBBBB”.
