1.3.5. The Numeric Pad and the mode keys
The
NUMERIC PAD
is a combination of numbered keys allowing the user to set a
numerical value on the selected field directly. Every value entered must be confirmed by
pressing the [
ENTER
] key. Naturally, when a value outside the permitted range is entered,
the MC 2000 will set the value by forcing the maximum (or minimum) value envisaged for
the field.
In the Program Mode, the numeric pad selects the number of the patch to be recalled.
In addition to the numerical characters, the Numeric Pad also contains the alphanumeric
characters: if the field selected envisages the entering of these characters (e.g. writing of
the patch name), the instrument will automatically enable the input of letters, so the
chosen key can be pressed repeatedly to scroll through all the letters assigned to it.
The numeric pad contains the [
BANK
] key for selecting the bank in which the patch to be
recalled is located. This selection does not always start from bank A, but starts from the
bank active when the operation is carried out.
The last set of buttons we find moving from left to right is the group called
MODE
,
consisting of 4 buttons with LED which allow us to select one of the instrument's 4
operating modes, which are:
•
PROGRAM MODE
: Main operating mode. In this mode, the user can select the
programs (patches) and use all the instrument's real-time functions.
•
EDIT MODE
: Programming mode. This mode allows creation of modification of all the
parameters in a program (patch).
•
CHAIN MODE
: Mode which allows the creation and execution of 64 different
concatenations of more than one patch.
•
UTILITY
: This mode allows the creation of user tables and access to all the
instrument's auxiliary functions.
