SHIFT
Hold down SHIFT to use alternative functions for knobs and buttons, labeled in blue text. For one-handed operation,
double-press SHIFT to turn on Shift Hold; press again to turn off.
ENTER for accelerated editing
Hold down ENTER to accelerate editing or scrolling. For example:
• Normally, the VALUE knob works as a “fine” value input when moved slowly, with “coarse” bigger jumps when
moved quickly. To restrict it to “coarse” value changes, hold ENTER while turning VALUE.
•Hold ENTER and press < or > (or turn the VALUE dial) to scroll by a whole page in a list, such as when selecting
Performances, Multisamples, or Mod routings.
Modulation
Most front-panel knobs and on-screen parameters are modulatable. Hold MOD and press > to create a new
modulation routing. When viewing and editing modulations, hold MOD and press < to filter the list. See the Mod List
Info page for an on-screen list of shortcuts.
Mod Knobs
You can use the Mod Knobs in real-time performance, and also save the results as new sounds. The names are shown
on the main PERFORM screen. The values are stored, and can themselves be modulated. The Mod Knobs can control
any number of parameters in any of the Layers.
