Basic operation

This section explains the basic procedures you can perform in the PM5D’s display. In general, you will perform operations in

the PM5D’s display by combining the operations described here.

Moving the pointer to a specific parameter in the screen

and pressing the left/right track pad button (or the left/

right mouse button) is called “clicking.” Clicking is mainly

used to turn an on-screen button on/off, to move the cur-

sor, or to make fine adjustments to a value.

Using the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys of the data

entry section to move the cursor to a desired parameter

and then pressing the [ENTER] key is equivalent to click-

ing. If you are using a PS/2 keyboard, you can perform the

same action using the arrow keys and the <Enter> key.

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will simply be

called “clicking.”

Hint

When using the track pad, you can

move the pointer to the desired param-

eter and then tap the track pad to

obtain the same result as if you

pressed the left button. (This is called

the Tapping function.) If you want to

use the tapping function, you must

enable it in the PREFERENCE 2

screen (UTILITY function) (

➥

p.206).

Moving the pointer to a specific parameter in the screen

and then holding down the left/right track pad (or mouse)

button while moving up/down/left/right is called “drag-

ging.” Dragging is used mainly to adjust the value of a

knob or fader.

Using the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys of the data

entry section to move the cursor to a desired parameter

and then turning the [DATA ] encoder (or pressing the

[DEC/CANCEL]/[INC/OK] keys) is equivalent to drag-

ging. If you are using a PS/2 keyboard, you can perform the

same action using the arrow keys and the <PageUp>/

<PageDown> keys (or keys that have the same function).

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will simply be

called “dragging.”

Moving the mouse pointer to a specific parameter in the

screen, dragging to another location in the screen, and then

releasing your finger is called “dragging and dropping.”

Dragging and dropping is used to copy EQ or compressor

settings to another channel. Dragging and dropping can-

not be performed using the CURSOR keys or keyboard.

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will be called

“dragging and dropping.”
