CONFIG CHAN key
CONFIG CHAN key - SWITCH channel type
Press the
CONFIG
key and then the
CHAN
key to open the CHANNEL
ATTRibute menu. If you press the
CHAN
key when a pattern is selected, the
unit goes into channel selection mode.
When changing attribute settings for a range of channels, the menu option for
the first channel specified in the range is highlighted. For example, selecting
Channels 3 to 5 on Slot 3 on the front panel (3003:3005) as a range shows the
current attribute setting for 3003 when an attribute menu is displayed. When the
attribute setting is selected for a range, the entire range of channels is updated
to that value. To view or set an individual attribute setting for only one channel,
be sure to select a single channel range. For example, 3003:3003 would only
affect Channel 3 on Slot 3, which is displayed as 3003 with the channel state
and poles setting below it.
