ENSONIQ Avista 7600 User’s Guide

The Avista Controls and Display
The Avista’s front panel is divided into five sections, each of which
controls a certain type of activity. These are all described in this User’s
Guide.
•
The master controls section allows you to set the sensitivity of its
keyboard, transpose your playing and activate and adjust the built-
in metronome.
•
The eight sound buttons under the display allow you to quickly
select and layer sounds.
•
The Reverb/Chorus section allows you to select and adjust effects
that can be added to the Avista’s sounds, and contain the very
important minus and plus buttons (described below).
•
The buttons in the Disk-Rec/Play section serve a dual purpose.
When the Disk-Rec/Play button’s LED is lit, these buttons control
the Avista’s floppy disk operations. When the LED is unlit, these
buttons control the Avista’s built-in recorder.
The Minus and Plus Buttons
Tip:
You can change the readability of the display by adjusting its
contrast. See Page 5.
The minus and plus buttons located above the
Reverb and Chorus buttons play a part in many
of the things you’ll do with the Avista 7600.
Whenever you’re selecting a sound from the list of the Avista’s sounds,
or editing some displayed value, you can select the next lowest item—or
value—by clicking the minus button, and the next highest by clicking
the plus button.
The Display
The Avista’s display is the window through which you view the settings
associated with its many features. Whatever you do, information
relevant to the task at hand appears on the display.
