There are many common keys in many of the functions, however, such as, for example, COPY,
RENAME and DELETE which are always on F6, F7 and F8 in those pages where they appear.
Commands such as GO, and ABORT always appear on F7 and F8. There is also a convention
to the type of functions available which is worth noting.
If a key has this highlighted type of display: then this signifies that pressing this key will
take you to another page. If the key has this type of display: (i.e. the function simply has
a box around it and is unhighlighted) then this signifies that the key is an ‘do it’ key and will
instigate some kind action such as SAVE, LOAD, DELETE, GO, ABORT, etc..
If the key has no form of box around it and is not highlighted - i.e: , then this indicates the
page you are currently in although this is always shown in the top left corner of the display as
well. This type of key switches between two types of display - pressing it once displays note
names, pressing it again displays notes as MIDI note numbers.
SELECTING PARAMETERS AND ENTERING DATA
You move around the screen using the CURSOR KEYS and data is input either from the DATA
ENTRY ENCODER or from the NUMERIC KEYPAD. You may move around within digit fields
using the +/< and -/> keys found on the numeric keypad.

On simple fields like filter cutoff, attack time, MIDI channel, etc., that have two digits, you may
simply type in a two digit number - i.e. 23, 45, etc.. On such fields, you will find that the DATA
ENTRY ENCODER will cover the whole range quite quickly so you may find that more
convenient. The same is true of three digit fields. Turning it clockwise increases numeric
values, and turning it counter-clockwise decreases these values. You may also use the +/<
and -/> keys to position the cursor on the ‘tens’ or ‘hundreds’ field to make more rapid
changes. For non-numeric values (i.e. sample rates, sample type, loop type, etc.), turning the
encoder will display all the options in order. Normally, there is no other entry procedure
required; simply displaying the correct value of a parameter using the DATA encoder selects
and stores it into the S3200XL’s memory. Our sound programmers at Akai usually use a
combination of the numeric keypad and the DATA WHEEL for speedy input of parameter
values.
