Highlighted Field
When a field on the screen is highlighted (black text on a white background), then that field is
currently being edited. Its value will change when the arrow keys are pressed or the encoder is
turned, or, in the case of a numeric field, when the number keys are pressed, and in some cases,
when a fader is moved.
The Encoder
Turning the encoder always does the same thing as pressing the arrow keys, and pressing the
encoder always does the same thing as pressing the Enter key. They are just two different ways
of interacting with the machine.
Press and hold the arrow keys to repeat the key. Only the arrow keys repeat when held.
Shift
Shift+Key means hold the Shift key, then press another key. Shifted keys are used all over.
The keys across the top of the S2400 are all dual function, except Song. Press the key to access
the function written under the key, and press Shift+ the key to access the function written
above it.
Sticky Shift key allows single handed Shift+Key presses. Press and release Shift without pressing
any other key to "stick" Shift. The Shift key's LED will be illuminated. The next key pressed while
Shift is stuck will behave as if Shift was held, and then Shift will be unstuck. Pressing and
releasing the Shift key when it is stuck will unstick it.
F-Keys
The F-keys (function keys) are context specific. They do different things depending on what
screen is active. They share the same keys as the number keys. If a numeric field is highlighted,
pressing the number keys changes that field, so the F-keys are activated by either Shift+ the
number key, or by long-pressing the number key. When a non-numeric field is highlighted, then
the F-keys can be accessed with or without Shift or long-press.
Help
The help key displays the built-in help. Help is context sensitive and gives information about the
active screen or mode. The built-in help is not the entire user manual, but more of a quick
reference. It lists the functions of all of the faders, knobs, buttons, and F-keys, which change
depending on the active screen or mode. At the top of the help for many screens is an F-key
quick reference grid. At the bottom of the help is a QR code which links to this manual.
Help shares a key with the number zero, so the same rules apply to it as to the F-keys.
