C ontrol panel and push button functions
The control panel is divided into sections according to the group of functions related to the push buttons. From left to right you will see the
following:
VOLUME Two rows of four push buttons that are used to control the general volume for the Drums, Bass, Chords and Right sections. The
volume can be muted by pressing the right-hand and left-hand
VOLUME push buttons of that section together at the same time.
To restore the volume set prior to muting simply press one of the two VOLUME push buttons of the section once. To raise the
lead volume, press and hold down the right-hand RIGHT VOLUME push button. To lower the volume, use the left-hand push but-
ton instead.
- PAGE+ When the display shows that there are more pages following the first one (as for Voice and Style), the PAGE + push button is
used to move one page forwards and PAGE – to go back a page. The PAGE + and PAGE – push buttons, with the LED of the DISK
push button lit, are used to select either the hard disk or the floppy disk drive. In this case, to move onto the following pages
of a directory, the musician must use the
/- push buttons. In the main default page the PAGE + and PAGE – push
buttons directly control the Tempo value of the Arranger in steps which can be determined (in the UTILITIES page).
- When there are a number of parameters to be modified within a menu or the function push buttons do not directly relate to a
parameter (as in the case of the parameters situated in the middle of the display), these push buttons are used to move between
the parameters to select the one to be modified. In the
Disk environment the /- push buttons are used to select list-
ed groups of files that are not shown on the display. The presence of following or previous pages to that in use is indicated by
the symbols_ or_seen under or above the group of files displayed. In the main page the
and CURSOR – push buttons
are used to Transpose all the VEGA sound sections globally in steps of one semitone. To reset the transposition, simply press
the two push buttons together at the same time.
- VALUE + These are used to change the value of a parameter selected. The initial value of the parameter is reset by pressing the - VALUE +
push buttons together at the same time, even after the parameter has been modified. On the main page the VALUE buttons
allow you to balance the Arranger and Lead volumes. By pressing both the - VALUE + push buttons at the same time, you obtain
the transposition by one octave upward or downward.
SAVE/ENTER the user uses this to store and save on disk any edits or modifications carried out.
EXIT This push button is pressed once to return to the main page of the display. EXIT is disabled in the Song Play menu where the
SONG PLAY push button should be pressed again exit the Song Play mode and return to the main display page. On the main dis-
play page, the EXIT push button takes over the SPLIT function.
The ten STYLE push buttons are used to enter the number of a folder or file while managing the hard disk or modifying parameters, where they
are used as a numeric keypad.
The BANK push button is used to hold the numbers that compose a style number (In numeric selection mode) For example If you press the BANK
then 0, It will hold the 0 number, so for selecting number 01 you only press 1 without the 0 since the 0 was hold etc…
