In common with the other AMS modules the Command Line at the top of
the screen can be accessed via the four Commodore function keys. Com-
mand Line options specific to this module will be described at the end of this
section.
The device in the centre of the screen, below the command line is the multi
track DIGITAL RECORDER device. This indicates not only the Record,
Pause and Playback status of the Keyboard but also provides a display of
the current octave range of the keyboard. These will be described in more
detail below.
