User Interface Basics
Data Entry
3-4
page. For example, in the Program Editor, on the PITCH page, you might see LFO1 assigned as
the value for Pitch Control Source 1. If you select this parameter (the cursor will highlight its
valueÑLFO1 in this case), then press the EDIT button, youÕll jump to the page where you can
edit the parameters of LFO1. Naturally, you can Þnd every page in the current editor by using
the soft buttons, but often itÕs easier to use the EDIT button shortcut.
The EXIT Button
Press EXIT to leave the current editor. If youÕve changed the value of any parameter while in
that editor, the K2vx will ask you whether you want to save your changes before you can leave
the editor. See Chapter 5 for information on saving and naming. The EXIT button also takes you
to Program mode if youÕre on the entry level page of one of the other modes. If at some point
you canÕt seem to get where you want to go, press EXIT one or more times to return to Program
mode, then try again.
Data Entry
The data entry section of the front panel includes the Alpha wheel, the Plus/Minus buttons,
and the 14-button alphanumeric pad.
The Alpha Wheel
The Alpha Wheel is especially useful because it can quickly enter large or small changes in
value. If you turn the Alpha Wheel one click to the right, youÕll increase the value of the
currently selected parameter by one increment. One click to the left decreases the value by one
increment. If you turn it rapidly, youÕll jump by several increments.
The Plus/Minus Buttons
These buttons are located just under the Alpha Wheel. The Plus button increases the value of
the currently selected parameter by one, and the Minus button decreases it by one. These
buttons are most useful when youÕre scrolling through a short list of values, or when you want
to be sure youÕre changing the value by one increment at a time. One press of the Plus or Minus
button corresponds to one click to the right or left with the Alpha Wheel. These buttons will
repeat if pressed and held.
Pressing the Plus and Minus buttons simultaneously will move you through the current list of
values in large chunks instead of one by one. Often this is in even increments (10, 100, etc.).
DonÕt confuse these buttons with the +/- button on the alphanumeric pad. This button is used
primarily for entering negative numeric values and switching from uppercase to lowercase
letters (and vice versa).
The Alphanumeric Pad
As its name implies, this set of 14 buttons lets you enter numeric values, and to enter names one
character at a time. Depending on where you are, the K2vx automatically enters letters or
numerals as appropriate (you donÕt have to select between alphabetic or numeric entry).
When youÕre entering numeric values, press the corresponding numeric buttons, ignoring
decimal places if any (to enter 1.16, for example, press 1, 1, 6, ENTER). The display will reßect
your entries, but the value wonÕt actually change until you press ENTER. Before pressing
ENTER, you can return to the original value by pressing CANCEL. Pressing CLEAR is the same
as pressing 0 without pressing ENTER.
When entering names, youÕll use the left/right cursor buttons or the
<<<
/
>>>
soft buttons
to move the cursor to the character you want to change. Use the labels under the alphanumeric
buttons as a guide to character entry. Press the corresponding button one or more times to
insert the desired character above the cursor. The CANCEL button is equivalent to the
>>>
soft button, and ENTER is the same as OK. The CLEAR button replaces the currently selected
character with a space. The Ò+/-Ó button
toggles between uppercase and lowercase letters.
