6.1 PARAMETER EDITING

The DATA ENTRY knobs are used to change the value of the track parameters. The physical location of the

knobs on the front panel correspond to the layout of the parameters on the screen.

6.1.1 QUICK PARAMETER EDITING

If the DATA ENTRY knob is pressed down while being turned parameters will be adjusted in larger incre-

ments. This makes it much quicker to sweep through a whole parameter range.

6.1.2 PARAMETER VALUE JUMP

Keeping [FUNC] pressed while editing certain parameters will make the parameter values jump to rele-

vant positions. For example the oscillator tuning, which will jump in octaves.

6.2 [FUNC] KEY PRESS COMBINATIONS

The standard way to use the [FUNC] key in combination with other keys, is to press and hold [FUNC] and

then make a short press on the second key in the combination. For some key combinations it is also possi-

ble to access a sub-menu by pressing and holding [FUNC] + second key for a second.

6.3 QUICK SCROLLING

In most menus quick scrolling is available. Press [FUNC] + the [UP] or [DOWN] arrow keys to move the

cursor one menu page at a time.
