Directly Inputting Numeric Characters

When modifying the time locations of a locator or punch-in point, you can use the LOCATOR buttons as numeric keys to input numbers directly.

Not only can you use the normal process of rotating the TIME/VALUE dial to enter text, but you can also use the buttons on the top panel like an ASCII key- board, for example when editing markers or locators (using numerals).

1.Press [NUMERICS].

The NUMERICS indicator lights.

2.Press the LOCATOR button.

The buttons can be used to enter numerals as indicat- ed below.

1.Press [NUMERICS].

The NUMERICS indicator lights.

2.The cursor appears at the digit furthest to the right (in the lowest place). Press the LOCA- TOR buttons [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [0], and [0], in that order.

The numerals appear in the place furthest to the right and shift to higher places as other numerals are entered. You can also move the cursor to the desired place by pressing the CURSOR [ ] and

[ ].

3.When you are finished inputting the number, press [ENTER (YES)].

The numerical value is set, and the button indica- tor goes off.

*Depend on parameters (effect etc.), you can enter “-” (a minus sign) by pressing [0] twice.

3.After you have finished entering the numbers, press [ENTER (YES)].

This sets the numbers.

Selecting the Method for Numeric

Input

When using the numeric keys for input, you can select whether to input the digits starting from the upper place or from the lower place. Use the method with which you are most comfortable.

1.Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS System PRM ?” appears in the display.

2.Press [YES].

3.Press PARAMETER [ ] several times until “SYS NUMERICSType=” appears in the display.

4.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.

Example of entering numerals from higher to lower place digits

Now let’s see how “01h23m45s00f” is input when the NUMERICS Type is set to “Down.”

1.Press [NUMERICS].

The button indicator lights, and the current time in the song is displayed.

2.The cursor appears in the digit furthest to the left (the highest place). Press the LOCATOR buttons [0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [0], and [0], in that order.

The numerals appear from left to right, just as they are entered. You can also move the cursor to

the desired place by pressing the CURSOR [ ]

and [ ].

3.When you are finished inputting the number, press [ENTER (YES)].

The numerical value is set, and the button indica- tor goes off.
