4. Inputting numbers
• Here’s how to enter a number for an item you wish to specify.
• A number can be specified in the following three ways.
Data dial
• You can input a number by rotating the data dial.
• Rotating the data dial clockwise will increase the number,
and rotating it counterclockwise will decrease the number.
n/y
• You can input a number by pressing n/y.
• Pressing y will increase the number in steps of 1, and
pressing n will decrease the number in steps of 1.
Numeric keypad → e
• You can input a number by using the numeric keypad and
then pressing e.
• Use the numeric keypad to input a number, and while the
number you input is blinking, press e to finalize the
number.
5. On/off selections
• Some items have an on/off setting.
• On/off settings can be made in the following two ways.
Data dial
• You can make an on/off setting by rotating the data dial.
• Rotating the data dial clockwise will turn the setting on,
and rotating it counterclockwise will turn the setting off.
n/y
• You can make an on/off setting by usingn/y.
• Press y to turn the setting on, or press n to turn it off.
6. Inputting characters
• Some items such as song name, voice name, track name,
style name, pattern name, and file name require you to en-
ter characters.
• Characters are always entered using the same procedure.
• When you press a microkeyboard, the character printed at
the left side of the microkeyboard will be input as a lowercase
character.
• If you hold down the left d [OCT DOWN] (CAPS) key as
you press the microkeyboard, the character will be input as
an uppercase character.
• If you hold down the left u [OCT UP] (SHIFT) key as you
press the microkeyboard, the symbol printed at the left of
the microkeyboard will be input.
• You can use the numeric keypad to enter numerals.
• The right d [OCT DOWN] (SPACE) key will enter a blank
space.
• The right u [OCT UP] (DEL) key will delete the character
at the cursor location, and the characters to the right of the
deleted character will be shifted to the left to close up the
gap.
• Use the cursor keys to move the cursor.
• The number of characters in the character input area will
depend on the situation.
• When entering a filename in Disk mode Save, there are re-
strictions on the types of characters which can be entered.
Also, entering all spaces in the character input area will cause
an error. You must use characters other than spaces.
7. Used Memory display
• Here’s how to check the amount of currently used memory,
so that you can see about how much more recording can be
done.
• Simultaneously press the right d [OCT DOWN] and u
[OCT UP].
• The Used Memory display will appear as long as you con-
tinue holding these keys.
