2.4 The NUMERIC KEYPAD, DATA CONTROL and
+/- keys
The NUMERIC KEYPAD
To change the data in a field, move the cursor to it and type in the new
number using the numeric keypad, followed by ENTER. For example, to
change to sequence number 2:
1. Move the cursor to the SQNC field;
2. Type 2, followed by ENTER.
Notice that the sequence name (located immediately to the right of the
sequence number) now automatically changes, because it must now display
the name of sequence 2. Try changing the playing tempo in the same way
(move the cursor to the TMPO field).
Another use of the numeric keypad is to select from a list of options
presented on-screen. For example, pressing the DISK key causes the
following screen to be displayed:
If a screen like this is displayed, you are expected to select one of the
options by pressing a single number - it is not necessary to press ENTER
afterwards.
The DATA CONTROL
Another way of changing on-screen data is to use the DATA CONTROL.
While the cursor is in a data field, if the DATA CONTROL is rotated one
"step" to the right (as you turn the knob, you can "feel" the steps), the
on-screen number will increment by 1. If the DATA CONTROL is rotated
one step to the left, the on-screen number will decrement by 1.
Continuously turning the DATA CONTROL will repeatedly increment or
decrement the on-screen value. It is not necessary to press ENTER after
turning the data control.
There are certain data fields called "choice" fields. These fields do not
contain numeric data, but rather a specific number of preset
