Control panel

A UTILITY switch

Pressing 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.

B RECALL 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.

C MEMORY 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.

D STORE 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.

E CHECK switch

Use this to change from Normal mode to Check mode. In Check mode, the indicator located above the switch will light.

F0–9/ENTERswitches

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.

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.

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.)

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.
