Edit Indicator

You can adjust or set various parameters by using the data dial, [INC/YES] button and [DEC/NO] button in each mode. When changing the value of the parameter in these modes, the [E] (Edit Indicator) will appear on the top left corner of the LCD display. This indicates that the current program (Drum Kit, etc.) has been modiﬁed but not yet stored. If you wish to store the status or sound obtained by editing, be sure to store the current program to internal User memory by pressing the [ENTER/STORE] button before selecting another program.

Inputting a Number Directly

For parameters having large value ranges, you can also enter the value directly, using the buttons below the LCD display as a numeric keypad. When the cursor is located on such a parameter, the [NUM] icon appears at the lower right corner of the LCD display. When the [SF6] NUM button is pressed in this status, each digit (1 – 9, 0) is assigned to the [SF1] – [SF5] and [F1] – [F5] buttons as shown below, allowing you to input a number directly by using these buttons.

After completing the number input, press the [ENTER/ STORE] button to actually enter the number.

Note that the cursor highlight can be moved to the currently edited number by pressing the [F6] CURSOR button, and then moved from digit to digit by using the Cursor [N] and [M] buttons. This method is useful when you want to directly change only one speciﬁc digit. The cursor disappears when pressing the [F6] button again.
