Pressing the front panel Save key reveals a menu of softkeys. These 
softkeys are described in this section in alphabetical order.
When you press the 
Save key, the text area of the display shows the 
registers in use and any comments associated with the registers for the 
last sequence accessed. The display is updated whenever you make any 
changes to the registers or to the comments.
Add Comment To Seq[n] Reg[nn]
Press this softkey to add a comment that is associated with a register in 
use. The register number is listed in the text area of the display and the 
comment is shown immediately following the register. You can use the 
comment line, for example, to identify the instrument state saved in a 
register.
The comment line can consist of up to 55 alpha-numeric characters and 
special characters. To add or change a comment, the following editing 
capabilities are provided:
•The 
Editing Mode Insert Replace softkey in the Editing Keys menu 
toggles the editing mode from inserting text to replacing text. 
Insertion mode causes text to be entered in the position directly to 
the right of the cursor. Replacement mode causes the text to be 
entered in the position held by the cursor (replacing any existing 
text in that position).
•The 
Clear Text softkey in the Editing Keys menu deletes all of the 
existing text in the active entry area.
• Use the left and right arrow keys to position the cursor. Use the front 
panel knob, up and down arrow keys, or the direct editing softkeys, 
to enter an alphabetic character, numeral, or special character.
When you have entered the comment text, press the 
Enter terminator 
softkey. If you have changed your mind, press the 
Return hardkey. Once 
you press 
Enter, the new comment is saved to your selected register and 
displayed immediately.
