• Physically, there is only one button that differs between the two key groups, and this
button is in the same position in each group:
~ The Key 1 group has the KEY OVER button.
~ The Key 2 group has the CHAR GEN button.
• Functionally (besides the two different buttons listed above), there are two differences
between the two key groups:
~ Key 1 (and DSK 1 ) shares its preset pattern generator with the MLE’s Wipe
Generator . This pattern generator is full-featured — all wipe patterns are available.
