Data Entry

Inserting measures

In Song mode, as an alternative to the Fast For- ward and Fast Reverse functions, you can pass directly to any measure of a Song by specifying the measure number in an appropriate “active zone”, activated by pressing both >> and << but- tons at the same time.

The required measure number is specified using the black numerical keys on the right of the key- board.

Specify the required number and press ENTER to confirm.

After confirming with ENTER, the active zone closes and the Song pointer passes directly to the specified measure. Press PLAY or CONTIN- UE to start the Song from the specified point.

ENTER/ESCAPE

ENTER confirms an operation and the values assigned to modified parameters. In some edit pages, Enter confirms a parameter value and executes an operation (for example, a Load op- eration in the Disk environment, or a quantize entry).

ESCAPE cancels a selected operation or the values assigned to a selected parameter. In most cases, pressing Escape returns to a main dis- play.
