6.1 SCREEN NAVIGATION
When entering a menu or sub-menu, navigation is done using the [ARROW] keys [UP], [DOWN], [LEFT] or
[RIGHT]. The TRACK LEVEL knob can be used to quickly scroll through menus and lists.
[YES] is used to arm, select, enter sub-menus and tick/untick boxes.
[NO] is used to negate, deselect or go back one or more steps.
When on a menu or sub-menu the [NO] key can be used to go back, one step at a time, all the
way to the main screen.
6.2 PARAMETER EDITING
The DATA ENTRY knobs are used to change the value of the track parameters. The position of the param-
eters on the screen correspond to the physical location of the knobs on the front panel. Press and hold a
[PARAMETER] key to see the values for all parameters on that PARAMETER page.
6.2.1 QUICK PARAMETER EDITING
If the DATA ENTRY knob is pressed when it is turned, the parameters will be adjusted in larger incre-
ments. You can quickly sweep through a whole parameter range in this manner.
6.2.2 PARAMETER VALUE JUMP
Pressing [FUNC] while editing certain parameters makes the parameter values jump to appropriate
positions. The time of the Delay, for example, jumps between 16, 32, 64 and 128 and the oscillator tuning
jumps whole octaves.
6.2.3 [FUNC] KEY PRESS COMBINATIONS
The standard way to use the [FUNC] key in combination with other keys, is to press and hold [FUNC]
and then make a short press on the second key in the combination. For some key combinations, it is also
possible to access a sub-menu by pressing and holding [FUNC] + second key for a second.
