Alphanumeric Pad
For Numeric Characters
Enter the value numerically instead of using the Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons. Press
ENTER when finished. Press CANCEL to restore a parameter to its previous value. Pressing
CLEAR is equivalent to pressing 0 without pressing ENTER.
For Alphabetic Characters
When naming objects, you can use the alphanumeric pad to enter letters instead of numbers. If
you’re renaming a program, for example, just position the cursor under the character you want
to change, then press the corresponding numeric button, as labeled. Press the button as many
times as necessary to enter the desired character. Pressing CLEAR will enter a space before the
selected character. The “0” button will enter the numerals 0–9 when pressed repeatedly.
Here’s an example. To enter the letter “C” in a blank space, press “1” three times. You can press
the +/- button before or after entering the letter.
The CANCEL button is equivalent to the
>>>
soft button, and ENTER is the same as OK. The
CLEAR button replaces the currently selected character with a space. The “+/-” button toggles
between uppercase and lowercase letters.
When you press the +/- button on the alphanumeric pad, the currently selected character (the
one with the cursor under it) will switch from upper case to lower case, and vice versa. The +/-
button is a toggle; that is, if you switch from lower to upper case, all further entries will be in
upper case until you press the +/- button again.
There are several punctuation characters available as well, but they can be entered only with
the Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons. The punctuation characters are between “z” (lower
case) and “0.”
Special Alphanumeric Pad Functions
When you’re in Quick Access mode, the Alphanumeric pad can be used to select the entries in
the current Quick Access bank. The layout of the alphanumeric pad corresponds to the layout
of Quick Access bank entries as seen on the Quick Access mode page.
There’s also a shortcut for selecting different QA banks while in QA mode. Just press the +/- or
CLEAR button on the alphanumeric pad, and you’ll be prompted to enter a bank number. Type
the desired number on the alphanumeric pad, then press ENTER. The bank will be selected,
and you’ll return to the Quick Access page.
You can also use the alphanumeric pad to select strings to search for in the currently selected
list of objects, and to enter new strings to search for. The search function is described fully in
Chapter 3 in the
Performance Guide
.
Lastly, rack users can play notes from the numeric keypad by holding down the Cancel button
while pressing alphanumeric buttons. This, too, is described fully in Chapter 3 in the
Performance Guide
.
