Original Values of settings
When adjusting a control it is useful to know how far away it is from the
original value set by the program. Suppose the FILTER FREQ KNOB
is fully clockwise (physically pointing to the 5 o’clock position) indicat-
ing a fully open setting (127).
If the filter setting of the Program being listened to is at the 2 o’clock
position (say 101). A slight movement of the the knob will result in the
sound ‘pinging’ to a brighter sound. This is because the filter frequen-
cy will jump to a maximum (127) represented by the knob’s current
physical 5 o’clock position.
In order to ‘home in’ on the original program value, a vertical slider bar
with a top and bottom arrow will move up and down the display.
Although not visible, the illustration above shows the vertical slider bar
indicating that the knob is set too far above the Program’s original
value
In the real display, only tiny dot is visible next to the numeric value indi-
cating that the knob must be turned anticlockwise to get nearer the
Program’s original value.
Rotating the knob anticlockwise shows the slider bar approaching the
original value.
A further rotation of the knob locates the original value. This is indicat-
ed by slider moving down to cover the whole character next to the
numeric value. The effect is that it is completely white.
Experiment with the controls and notice how the slider ‘homes in’ on
the original value.
This section contains buttons associated with Mode selection, writing
Programs to memory, comparing Programs in memory against edited
Programs and selecting Programs directly by three-digit entry.
PROGRAM Button
Pressing this button places the K-Station immediately into Program
Select Mode. While in this mode, a new Program may be selected by
using either the PAGE / PROGRAM buttons, the DATA / PROGRAM
knob or by typing in a three digit entry by using the 0 - 9 Keypad /
Menu Select buttons.
As soon as this button is pressed, Program Edit Mode or Menu Mode
is cancelled.
MENUS Button
Pressing this button selects Menu Mode. In Menu Mode, the LED
located above the MENUS button will light. If the K-Station was already
in Menu Mode when the button was pressed, Menu Mode will be can-
celled and the K-Station will return to Program Select Mode. Program
Select Mode may be also be selected at any time by pressing the
PROGRAM button
As soon as Menu Mode is entered, the display will either show the first
Page of whatever Menu was accessed last time or the last selected
page of the previously accessed Menu. (This depends on the setting of
the Global function New Menu Always Page 1 - See page 36). It is
possible to immediately select a new Menu by pressing the appropri-
ate 0 - 9 Keypad / Menu Select button.
Note : If an Effects Menu is currently being displayed, selecting a differ-
ent Effect for editing (by pressing the Effects SELECT buttons located
within the Effects Section), will result in the display showing settings
relevant to the newly-selected Effect.
COMPARE Button
While this button is held down, the K-Station will recall the currently
selected Program from its memory location, temporarily losing any
edits you have made to the sound since it was originally selected.
Releasing the button restores the edit-buffer, bringing back any
changes made to the sound since it was originally selected.
This feature is useful when it is desired to check the original contents
of the current Program’s memory location before over-writing it with the
currently edited sound.
WRITE Button
Pressing this button starts the procedure for saving Programs into
memory. This procedure is detailed in the section Saving a Sound on
Page 4.
If however, this button is pressed while the Global Menu is currently
active in Menu Mode, instead of saving the currently edited Program,
the current settings of all Global settings will be saved into memory.
(The display will briefly show ‘GLOBALS SAVED’)The next time the K-
Station is switched on, these values will be remembered.
0 - 9 Keypad / Menu Select Buttons
While the K-Station is in Menu Mode, these buttons may be used to
switch to a different Menu.
At all other times, pressing one of these buttons will initiate Program
Select Mode and the K-Station will wait for the remaining digits of a
three-digit entry to be entered so that the appropriate Program may be
selected from memory.
For this reason, it is important to make sure that the K-Station is
already placed into Menu Mode before using these buttons to select a
different Menu.
