Using the Cursor Keys, the SELECT Key, the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and the KNOB
We use the
CURSOR
keys, the
KNOB
, the
SELECT
key, and the
NUMERIC KEYPAD
to navigate and manipu-
late the menu pages found in the
PARAMETER
,
Patch Editor,
LEVELS
,
and
SETUP
areas.
We’ll discuss their
use in the
PROGRAM
and
SETUP
Storage areas in a bit.
Use of the cursor keys is straightforward. The
LEFT
and
RIGHT CURSOR
keys move the cursor left and
right, respectively. If you move the cursor “past the edge of the screen," it will “wrap” around to the other
side. The
UP
and
DOWN CURSOR
keys move the cursor up and down, respectively. Again, the top and bot-
tom “wrap” around.
Use the
KNOB
,
NUMERIC KEYPAD
, or the
INC/DEC
keys to alter the
value of a numeric parameter. For example, spin the
KNOB
on this
screen to change the value of
Mix
or enter a new value directly with
the
NUMERIC KEYPAD
(pressing
ENT
when you’re done).
Use the
KNOB
or the
INC/DEC
keys to alter the value of a text
parameter. For example, spin the
KNOB
or press the
INC
key to
change
Shape
from
Sine
to
Triangle
on this screen.
Numeric parameters and text parameters cover 99% of the
parameters you’ll see in the DSP7000, but there are a few more
esoteric parameters you’ll encounter. One such oddball is the
“trigger” parameter. “Triggers” trigger things to happen. You place
the cursor over a trigger parameter, and trigger it by pressing
SELECT
. Other oddballs include “Taps” and “Graphics.”

Ganged Parameters
In some cases there are multiple, related parameters that are usually
adjusted together. To make such “mass adjustments” easy, a
feature exists that
gangs
parameters together. The
main
menu page
in the
LEVELS
area contains a good example of ganged parameters.
The purpose of this menu page is to assign signal levels and
wet/dry ratios. Such assignments are typically made in stereo gangs. So, both parameters are initially ganged
together. Spin the
KNOB
and both values change.
Now, let’s say you only want to change
OUT 1
. Press the
DOWN
CURSOR
key
to “ungang” the pair. Now spin the
KNOB;
only the
value for
OUT 1
changes.
To get to a screen like this one, first press the
PROGRAM
key. Scroll through the banks (using the
LEFT
or
RIGHT
CURSOR
keys and the
KNOB
) to
“PHASERS."
Scroll
through the programs in that bank to “
Stereoizing-
Phaser
." Load it and press the
PARAMETER
key.
