4-2. Switching Edit Pages
Each edit page has 2 Common and 5 Element pages, each of which is divided into several
parameter groups visually separated by horizontal lines. The "Common <Miscellaneous>" page,
for example, is divided into 7 parameter groups: "Voice", "Element Name", "Setting", etc.
When the edit window is initially opened the "Common Miscellaneous" page will appear. Other
edit pages can be selected via the pull-down menu in the upper left corner of the window. If
you have an extended keyboard the function keys — [F1] through [F7] — can be used to directly
select the various pages. The element pages can also be switched via the [F8] key on an
extended keyboard. See the appropriate VL synthesizer owner's manual for details about the
individual parameters available in each page.
A data entry box appears to the right of each parameter. For parameters which also have
related key-scaling parameters, a button marked ">" appears to the right of the data entry box.
Pressing this button (or the [F10] function key on an extended keyboard) takes you to the
related key-scaling edit window.
When editing for the VL7, please note that although parameters for both element 1 and
element 2 are available, only the element 1 parameters are used by the VL7 (the VL1 and
VL1-m have two elements while the VL7 has one).
NOTE
• The "Instrument" edit page provides access to a range of parameters which are not available
via the VL synthesizers themselves. The operation and interaction of these parameters are so
complex that they have not been included in the VL synthesizer editing interface, and for the
same reason they will not be described in detail here.
4-3. Data Entry
The data values in the data entry boxes to the right of the edit parameters can be changed in
four ways:
• The values can be incremented or decremented by clicking on or holding the increment (up
arrow) or decrement (down arrow) button to the right of the data entry box.
• Click on a data entry box to highlight the value, enter a new value via the keyboard, then
press the [enter] or [return] key.
• Click and hold the data entry box, and select an appropriate value from the pop-up menu
which appears.
• Copy the data from another data entry box: click on and highlight the data to be copied,
select "Copy" from the "Edit" menu (  -C), click on the data box you want to copy the data to,
then select "Paste" from the "Edit" menu (  -V). This method is an efficient way to copy a
value and its related key-scaling settings.
The key-scaling window allows both graphic entry and direct numeric entry for each
breakpoint. A number of breakpoints can be selected for simultaneous editing by using the
Macintosh "shift-click" technique.
When 2 key-scaling parameters are available, the "Both" button can be used to simultaneously
