General Concepts
Access buttons
The orange-lettered Access buttons are
located in several areas of the top panel. 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
lters, toggle something, activate a Macro,
etc.). It might help to remember that
• buttons with orange 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].
Control knobs
Above and below the Right display are two
sets of four knobs. They are “endless encoders”:
parameters are edited from their current
value, rather than jumping to another value
that was based on the position of the knob.
The Control knobs play dierent roles
depending on the page that has been
accessed:
• On the Home page they are used as Macro
controls.
• On a parameter page they are used to
adjust parameter values.
Control buttons
Each Control knob is paired with a Control
button. Their function also depends on the
page that has been accessed.
• On the Home page they can aect a Macro
in one of four ways (Toggle, Trigger, Switch,
or Reset). This choice is made on System
Setup Master: Page 2 (p.85).
• On a parameter page they are used to:
• select a parameter value for editing
• toggle a value (Oscillator Solo on/o,
for example), or
• enter a lower-level editing page (i.e.,
Wavelist Edit for a WaveScan oscillator).
Module Select buttons
These buttons access the parameter pages of
the selected Module (Osc 1, Delay, LFO 5, etc.)
The signal path generally moves from left to
right, but vertical lines between two buttons
indicate:
• a pre-wired connection (Env 1 / LFO 1 to
Filters, Env 2 / LFO 2 to Amp), or
• the ability to be routed in Series or Parallel,
as with the Filters, or
• order of operations, such as the output of
the Delay is fed to the input of the Reverb.
The Module Select buttons can be used as a
quick way to set up a Mod Matrix route, too
(hold one, press another). For information
about that, see The Mod Matrix (p.73).
