General Concepts
Access buttons
The Access buttons are located in several areas
of the top panel. Their letters can be different
colors, depending on the top panel status. All
of the buttons in the Module Select section
and many of those in the Main Systems and
Master Control sections are Access buttons.
Their purpose:
• Press an Access button and the main
parameter page for that feature appears in
the Right display for editing.
• If more pages exist, one or both Page
buttons will point to the other pages.
• Pressing an Access button repeatedly will
also scroll through its pages.
Function buttons
These are the white-lettered buttons, and they
make instant changes (load a patch, switch
filters, toggle something, activate a Macro,
etc.). It might help to remember that
• buttons with colored letters select things
and
• buttons with white letters do things.
For example: To enable the Arpeggiator, press
the [ON] button. To exit any page, press [EXIT]
or [HOME].
