How to use the numeric key pad
The numeric key pad can be used to enter an absolute data value, and also to enter characters for a
memory name or disk file name.
How to enter absolute
If you want to set a data value to some specific number (for example “57” or
numerical data
“121”), use the numeric key pad. Press one or more keys 0-9 to specify the
number, press the – key to change the sign if necessary (when entering a nega-
tive number), and press
ENTER
. For example if you wanted to enter the number
“–18”, you would press 1, 8, –,
ENTER
. If the data value has a three-place range
(such as 0-127), there is no need to add a zero in front.
In most displays, the first digit you enter from the numeric key pad will be dis-
played blinking with an asterisk after it. When. you enter the second digit the
number will be finalized.
How to enter character
data
You will sometimes need to enter character data to specify a voice name, multi
name, file name, etc. When the currently selected parameter requires that you
enter character data, the numeric key pad will act in a different way than usual.
To try this out, jump to the Voice Name page by pressing the following keys in
order;
JUMP, 2 ,2, 9, ENTER
. The following display will appear.
