1.3.3. The display, the write key and the function keys
The centre of the front panel contains a display, above which there are 3 function keys,
[F1], [F2] and [F3], used to select the function or user field which appears on the display
next to the key concerned. Below the display there are 5 keys; the first on the left is the
[
WRITE
] key, used to save the settings made by the user. This key is followed, from left to
right, by 3 more function keys (from [F4] to [F6]) and the exit key ([ ESC ]) pressed to exit
from the procedure in progress without saving the modifications made, returning to the
previous video page or the display main menu page. The function keys also have LEDs,
on when they are enabled, meaning when pressing them will select the function or user
field to which they are associated.
1.3.4. The dynamic encoder, the INC and DEC keys and the cursor keys
Further to the right on the front panel, we find the DYNAMIC ENCODER knob. The
Encoder is a data entering device allowing the user to increase the value of the selected
field by turning the knob clockwise, or to reduce it by turning anti-clockwise. The word
"Dynamic" means that the MC 2000 encoder is sensitive to the acceleration with which the
knob is turned, so the faster the rotation the larger the jump in values on the selected field.
Below the Encoder knob there are 2 keys which increase ([
INC
]) or decrease ([
DEC
]) the
selected field one unit at a time: they are normally used for fine variation of a value. In the
Program Mode (normal operating mode), both the Encoder and the [INC] and [DEC] keys
act on the number of the patch selected. Below them the
CURSOR
keys move the selector
cursor in the four main directions, corresponding with the positions of the keys themselves
(up, down, left, right).
