Cross-point button numbers

This description applies to the example of a 32-button system.

From the left, the first 31 buttons are numbered 1, 2, ... 30, 31. When the 32nd button is set to be a [SHIFT] button, these buttons can also be switched to select signals numbered from 32 to 62. While the [SHIFT] button is held down, these switch to numbers 32 to 62, or alternatively, every time the button is pressed, switching is made between numbers 1 to 31 and 32 to

62.Similarly, the reentry buttons can be switched between two sets of numbers: 121 to 123, and 125 to 127.
