Now move the cursor so that its tip is just below the rightmost digit of the TEMPO indicator. This time,

hold down the right button while moving the mouse to the left and right. As you move to the right the

value of the selected digit will increase, and as you move to the left it will decrease. Try the same operation

with the other digits in the TEMPO indicator, then the digits in the TIME SIGNATURE indicator. The right

button is thus primarily used to set numerical values.

There are a few exceptions to this pattern, and these will be noted as we look at the specific functions

to which they apply.

Using the Computer Keyboard

Mouse-Equivalent Keys

Although the Mouse is generally recommended for operation of the MIDI Recorder, all functions can

be carried out directly from the computer keyboard. There are also a very few functions for which

keyboard entry is the easiest and most appropriate method.

When using the keyboard, the cursor keys (the right, left, up and down arrow keys) are used to position

the red cursor arrow on the screen. The SELEZT1 key in the block of keys above the cursor keys is

equivalent to the left mouse button. To test this. use the cursor keys to move the arrow to the AUTO

RECORD mode sector (at least part of the arrow most logically the point must be inside the AUTO

RECORD sector). Now press the I SELECTI key. The AUTO RECORD sector should have turned blue,

indicating that it is selected, and a block of parameters pertaining to the AUTO RECORD mode should

appear at the bottom of the screen.
