The functions of each of the front panel keys of the instrument are assigned to keyboard keys,
allowing you to manipulate them with a keyboard just as you would by using the instrument’s panel
keys. The panel key correspondence table below shows the correspondences between the panel
keys and the keys on the keyboard. Also, you can directly enter labels, file names, and numbers.
