AUTILITY switchPressing this switch will access Utility mode
(page 34), in which you can make settings for scene
memory and MIDI. When Utility mode is selected,
the indicator above the switch will light.
BRECALL switch
Use this switch to recall a previously-stored scene. If
you select a scene number that has not been stored
and attempt to recall it, the scene will not change, but
the MEMORY display (3) will indicate “ ” (No
data) for approximately two seconds.
CMEMORY display
This is a three-digit LED display. In Normal mode
and Check mode (page 32), it displays a scene mem-
ory number in the range of 1–130. In Utility mode, it
indicates the utility item or its value.
DSTORE switch
Use this to store a scene. When you press this switch
once, the display will indicate “ ,” indicating that
the M2500 is ready to store the scene. If you press the
STORE switch once again, the scene will be stored. If
you decide to cancel without storing, press any other
switch. Before storing a scene in scene memory, make
sure that memory protect (page 34) is turned off.
ECHECK switch
Use this to change from Normal mode to Check
mode. In Check mode, the indicator located above
the switch will light.
F0–9/ENTER switches
In Normal mode or Check mode, these switches are
used to numerically specify a scene memory number.
Use the 0–9 switches to enter a number, and press the
ENTER switch to finalize that number. The 0–9
switches cannot be used in Utility mode.
G▲/▼ switches
The function of the ▲/▼ switches will vary depend-
ing on the mode of the M2500.
● Normal mode/Check mode
Use these switches to increment or decrement the
scene memory number. However, scene memory
numbers 129 and 130, and scene memory numbers
1–8 when using mute groups (page 37) can be
selected only by using the 0–9/ENTER switches.
● Utility mode
Use the switches to change the value of the selected
utility item.
HDIRECT RECALL 1–8 switches
The DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switches can be used in
one of two ways, depending on the Utility mode set-
ting. With the factory settings, these switches will
function as “direct recall” switches that recall scene
memory numbers 1–8 at a touch. By changing the
setting in Utility mode, you can use these switches to
simultaneously select or cancel the mute (off) set-
tings that have been saved in scene memory numbers
1–8. (For details on direct recall and mute groups,
refer to page 31 and page 37.)
This will light if the dis-
play shows a scene
memory number in
which no scene has
been stored. If not even
one scene has been
stored in scene memory,
this dot will light when
the power is turned on.
This will light
while bulk
data is being
received at
the MIDI IN
connector.
This will light when
the settings of the
last-recalled scene
are modified in
Normal mode, or
when the settings
of the scene select-
ed in Check mode
are modified.
Hint: In Normal mode and Check mode, holding
either of the ▲/▼ switches for one second or more
will cause the scene memory number to change
more rapidly.
Note: Pressing a DIRECT RECALL switch will not
change the scene if no scene has been saved in the
corresponding scene memory number. If this
occurs, the MEMORY display will indicate “ ”
(No data) for approximately two seconds.
Note: Be aware that in Check mode, pressing a
DIRECT RECALL switch will forcibly cancel
Check mode and recall the scene.
