Editing parameters
The Ambika parameters are organized in pages. To jump to a page, press one of the 7
switches S1...S7. Some pages share the same switch ; and you will need to repeatedly
press a switch to cycle between those pages. The active page is indicated by the LEDs
L1...L7 next to the navigation switches.
The following table lists which page is associated with each switch:
