Other Navigation Aids

In addition to the standard procedures described in the previous section, the VL1

sometimes provides additional help in moving between related functions via the function

buttons.

In this example display page from the ELEMENT CONTROLLER group, “

Bpag

”

(back page) and “

Fpag

” (forward page) appear above the § and ¶ function buttons.

In this case these buttons can be used to move forward and backward through the entire

list of controller functions so you don’t have to move up to the function directory and

then down to the next function every time you want to select a different element control-

ler page.

Also note the “

Para

” (Parameter) abbreviation above the • button. This enables

you to go directly to the parameters related to the current page: in this case the vibrato

parameters.

From here you can go back to the vibrato controller page by pressing the •

function button again (note that it is now labelled “

Ctrl

”), or to the vibrato key scaling

parameters by pressing ¶, below “

KSC

” on the display.

Another variation appears in the COMMON EFFECT parameter displays. In most

cases the number of parameters available for each effect exceeds the capacity of the

display, so the ¡ and ™ function buttons are used to scroll up and down the parameter

list — note the “>” and “<” arrows above the buttons in the display.
