6. THE USER INTERFACE
The screen shows all the information needed for real-time interaction and editing on the Digitone Keys. The
eight DATA ENTRY knob parameters shown vary depending on which parameter page you have selected.
Below is the main interface screen of the SYN1 page.

1. Bank and pattern.
2. Pattern name.
3. Pattern/Track transpose.
4. Tempo.
5. Eight track parameters. They show what parameters the DATA ENTRY knobs control, and the current
parameter values.
6. FM algorithm (Displayed on the SYN1 and SYN2 pages).
7. Track volume level. Use the LEVEL/DATA knob to change the level.
8. Track number and track type. Synth (SYN) track or MIDI (MID) track.
The Digitone Keys features a screen saver that dims the screen after 5 minutes of
inactivity and turns o the screen after 60 minutes. Press any key or move any controller to
wake up the screen.
6.1 SCREEN NAVIGATION
Use the [ARROW] keys [UP], [DOWN], [LEFT] or [RIGHT] to navigate menus or sub-menus.
The LEVEL/DATA knob is used to scroll through menus and lists quickly.
[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 in 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 values of the track parameters. The positions of the pa-
rameters on the screen correspond to the physical locations of the knobs on the front panel. Some of the
parameters on the screen tell you what DATA ENTRY knob controls that particular parameter.
For example “(E).”
• The parameters are adjusted in larger increments if you press down the DATA ENTRY knob while turning
it. This function makes it quicker to sweep through the whole parameter range.
• Press DATA ENTRY knob + [NO] to reset the parameter to the default value.
• Press [PARAMETER] + [PLAY] to reset all the parameters on the parameter page to default values.
• Press and hold a [PARAMETER] key to see the exact parameter values for all parameters on that PA-
RAMETER page.
6.2.1 PARAMETER VALUE JUMP
Pressing [FUNC] while editing certain parameters makes the parameter values jump to appropriate posi-
tions. The time of the Delay, for example, jumps between 16, 32, 64 and 128 and the sample tuning jumps
whole octaves.
