1.2H Text Protocols

Throughout the text, button names are shown in UPPER CASE and words that appear on the display

are shown in BOLD. When referring to a numbered step in a set of steps, the step number will be in

parenthesis—for example, step (4)—to prevent confusion with Song steps or step edit mode.

1.3 IMPORTANT: HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE IED04

1.3A The INC/DEC Buttons

The two small buttons with the up arrow and down arrow symbols (next to the number keys)

are called the INC/DEC buttons respectively.

Pressing the INC button once increases the value of the entire number indicated by the cursor

(not just a single digit) by one. Pressing the DEC button once decreases the value of the entire

number indicated by the cursor (not just a single digit) by one. Example: If the display shows

00 and you want to enter 01, tap the INC button once.

These buttons, and the TEMPO/PAGE buttons, also have a "scroll" feature. If you press and

hold a button, after a short pause the display will either increment or decrement at a rapid

rate.

1.3B Buttons that Toggle

The Mode buttons, FILL button, and several function buttons (DRUM SET, RECORD SETUP,

MIDI SETUP, and UTIL) "toggle" between two states. Each button press sets the switch to its

alternate state. Example: Press the PATTERN/SONG button once to change from Pattern to

Song; press again to change from Song to Pattern. Example: Press RECORD SETUP to call

up the Record Setup menu; press RECORD SETUP again to get out of the Record Setup

menu.
