If a number such as 123456.78 is displayed, and the -/< key is pressed so that only the first
three digits are highlighted thus:
Turning the DATA ENTRY ENCODER clockwise by one step now will increase the value of the
last highlighted digit, so:
Now if the +/> key is pressed once, the first four digits will be highlighted:
and turning the DATA ENTRY ENCODER one click clockwise will produce:
If you turn the DATA control more than ten clicks, of course, the value of the whole parameter
will be incremented or decremented by the number of clicks. In this way, with very little effort,
fast accurate editing of numbers can be achieved using only the -/< and +/> keys and the
DATA ENTRY ENCODER. The best way to learn how this works is to practise; after a short
time, it should become second nature.
On ‘signed’ fields (that is, fields that have a + or a - before them), the -/< and +/> will do two
things. Pressing the -/< key will move the cursor left within the field and, when it reaches the
furthermost left digit, you may use it to switch between + and - depending on the selection you
wish to make. The +/> key will move the cursor right and, when it reaches the furthermost right
digit you may toggle between + and - again.
NOTE: The cursor always stays on the last currently selected field in any screen. For example,
if you are in, say, the filter pages and are setting envelope 2’s depth and then go to the ENV2
page to make an adjustment there, when you return to the filter page, the cursor will still be on
envelope 2’s depth parameter.
MARK AND JUMP KEYS
These two grey buttons are used in conjunction with each other.
MARK
JUMP
If you are carrying out editing operations which require changing display pages a lot, these can
save a lot of time and effort. Pressing the MARK/# button when the cursor is on a field will
cause the CD3000XL to remember the position of the cursor. You may now go to any other
page and pressing JUMP/. will take the cursor back to the MARK(ed) position. Pressing JUMP/.
again will take you back to the page and function you were at before you JUMP(ed).
You can reset the MARK position at any time. This position is lost when the power is turned off.
At power-on, this position defaults to the program select field in the initial SINGLE mode.
