INSERTING ALPHANUMERIC DATA

In Name Write situations (Presets, Songs, User Styles, Disk files, etc.), the keyboard activates as a source of alphanumeric data. Each note of the keyboard corresponds to a letter of the al- phabet or a number.

The relative display shows a flashing active zone (“New name”) where a name of up to 6 charac- ters can be inserted. Disk files accept up to 8 characters. Characters are inserted in the active zone using the keys of the keyboard.

The alphanumeric keyboard configuration

The configuration of the alphanumeric data is shown in the diagram below.

The notes from D2 - G2 on the left provide some word processing functions:

• D2:		CAPS - Toggles between
		Capitals On and Capitals Off.
• D#2:	INS/OVER - Toggles between In-
		sert and Overwrite. Insert inserts
		a character between two entries.
		Overwrite cancels a character at
		the cursor position. The display
		shows the status of this option in
		name write situations.
