Access buttons
The Access buttons are located in several areas of the top panel. Many of the buttons in the Main
Systems and Master Control sections and all of the buttons in the Module Select section are Access
buttons. Their purpose:
• Press an Access button and the main parameter page for that feature appears in the Right display
for editing.
• If more pages exist, one or both Page buttons will point to the other pages.
• Pressing an Access button repeatedly will also scroll through its pages.
Function buttons
These are the white-lettered buttons, and they make instant changes (switch lters, toggle something,
activate a Macro, etc.). It might help to remember that
• buttons with orange letters select things and
• buttons with white letters do things.
For example: To enable the Arpeggiator, press the [ON] button. To exit any page, press [EXIT] or [HOME].
