the knob counter-clockwise.

Operative modes
The pages of Pa900 are grouped in various operating modes.
Each mode is accessed by pressing the corresponding button in
the MODE section on the control panel.
Each operating mode is marked with a different color code, that
helps you understand at first sight where you are.
Two special modes (Global and Media) overlap the current
operating mode, that remains active in the background.
The Record mode can be accessed from the Style Play and
Sequencer modes, and allows for creating new Styles or Songs. It
can also be accessed from the Sound mode, where allows you to
edit Samples.
Selected, highlighted items
Any operation on parameters, data or list entries, is executed on
highlighted items. First select the parameter or item, then exe-
cute the operation.
Non-available, grayed-out parameters
When a parameter or command is not currently available, it is
shown in grey on the display. This means it cannot be selected,
but may become available when a different option is selected, or
you switch to a different page.
Shortcuts
Some commands or pages can be recalled by keeping the SHIFT
button pressed, and pressing other buttons or elements in the
display. See the “Shortcuts” chapter on page “Shortcuts” on
page 437 for a list of available shortcuts.
