Basic Operation

Display-based Controls

As you’ve seen in “Quick Guide” above, the 9000Pro features an exceptionally large and easy-to- understand display. It provides comprehensive at-a-glance information on all current settings, and gives you convenient, intuitive control over the 9000Pro’s functions.

●LCD buttons

The LCD (A~J) buttons are used to select the corresponding menu. In the example display shown above, for example, the LCD [F] button can be used to turn the R1 voice on.

The LCD (1~8) buttons are divided into eight sets of up/down buttons, and are used to make selections or adjust settings (up or down correspondingly) for functions shown directly above them. In the example display shown above, for example, the LCD [6] buttons can be used to adjust the volume of the R2 voice.

●Data dial

This is usually used to change the tempo of accompaniment/song playback (when the TEMPO lamp is lit). However, when certain functions (for example, Music Database selection, Naming and Mixing Console adjusting) are shown on the LCD display, this dial is used to change the corresponding data values (when the DATA ENTRY lamp is lit).

Depending on the selected display, the lamps switch between each other automatically. (This cannot be changed manually.)

Rotating the data dial to the right (clockwise) increases the value, while rotating it to the left (counter-clockwise) decreases it.

●PAGE CONTROL buttons

If you’ve selected several different functions’ displays in succession, you can “retrace your steps” and revisit each display by using the [BACK] and [NEXT] buttons.

Pressing [NEXT] button go to the next available page and pressing the [BACK] button return to the previous available page.

●The [LCD CONTRAST] Control

The 9000Pro display panel is a liquid-crystal type which features an [LCD CONTRAST] con- trol. Use the [LCD CONTRAST] control to set the display for optimum legibility.

●[EXIT] button

No matter where you are in the 9000Pro display hierarchy, the [EXIT] button will return you to the next highest level, or to the normal play mode display.

Since the 9000Pro has so many different displays, you may occasionally find yourself confused as to which operation’s display is currently shown. If this happens, you can return to “home base” by pressing the [EXIT] button several times. This returns the 9000Pro to the default display — the same display that appears when the power is turned on.

●[MAIN MIXER] button and [PART ON/OFF] button Refer to pages 24, 25 and 31.
