Simply move the cursor to each character position in turn,
selecting the appropriate characters at each position. The
available characters are as follows:
NOTE:

LCD and title editing will not be possible.

4: UTILITY FUNCTIONS

First space

DIGITAL IN ATT.

This function makes it possible to vary the input level
digital circuit from 0dB to -60dB. Adjusting the level through
this DIGITAL IN ATT. rather than through analog input
volume will improve the S/N ratio.

USER ER EDIT

This function makes it possible to create up to four original
ER (Early Reflection) patterns – A, B, C and D – that can
be selected and used by the PROGRAMMABLE ER effect
program. Each pattern is comprised of up to 19 separate
reflections. The delay, level a stereo position (pan) of each
reflection can be individually programmed.
1. Use the UTILITY key to call the USER ER EDIT function.
2. Use the parameter a and 0 keys to select the pattern you
wish to edit: A, B, C or D.
3. Press the PARAM key to call the "# 1 DLY=" parameter,
and use the parameter 0 and v keys to program the delay
time for the first early reflection.
4. Press the PARAM key to call the "# 1 LVL=" parameter,
and use the parameter 6 and v keys to program the level
for the first early reflection.
5. Press the PARAM key to call the "# 1 PAN=" parameter,
and use the parameter 0 and v keys to program the pan
(stereo) position from -45 degrees (fully left) to +45
degrees (fully right) for the first early reflection.
6. Press the PARAM key to move on to the DLY, LVL and
PAN parameters for the second and subsequent reflections
(up to 19) and program each as above. The SCROLL
BACK key can be used at any time to scroll backwards
through the USER ER EDIT parameters.
