Control panel and push button functions
The control panel is divided into sections according to the group of functions related to the push buttons. From left to right you will see the following:
VOLUME Two rows of four push buttons that are used to control the general volume for the Drums, Bass, Chords and Right sections. The volu-
me can be muted by pressing the right-hand and left-hand
VVOOLLUUMMEE
push buttons of that section together at the same time. To resto-
re the volume set prior to muting simply press one of the two
VVOOLLUUMM
E push buttons of the section once. To raise the lead volume,
press and hold down the right-hand
RRIIGGHHTT VVOOLLUUMMEE
push button. To lower the volume, use the left-hand push button instead.
PAGE + PAGE - When the display shows that there are more pages following the first one (as for Voice and Style), the PAGE + push but-
ton is used to move one page forwards and PAGE – to go back a page. The PAGE + and PAGE – push buttons, with the
LED of the DISK push button lit, are used to select either the hard disk or the floppy disk drive. In this case, to move
onto the following pages of a directory, the musician must use the CURSOR +/- push buttons. In the main default page
the PAGE + and PAGE – push buttons directly control the Tempo value of the Arranger in steps which can be determi-
ned (in the UTILITIES page).
CURSOR +, CURSOR - When there are a number of parameters to be modified within a menu or the function push buttons do not directly rela-
te to a parameter (as in the case of the parameters situated in the middle of the display), these push buttons are used
to move between the parameters to select the one to be modified. In the Disk environment the CURSOR +/- push but-
tons are used to select listed groups of files that are not shown on the display. The presence of following or previous
pages to that in use is indicated by the symbols_ or_seen under or above the group of files displayed. In the main page
the CURSOR + and CURSOR – push buttons are used to Transpose all the XD9 sound sections globally in steps of one
semitone. To reset the transposition, simply press the two push buttons together at the same time.
VALUE +, VALUE - These are used to change the value of a parameter selected. The initial value of the parameter is reset by pressing the
-VALUE + push buttons together at the same time, even after the parameter has been modified. On the main page the
VALUE buttons allow you to balance the Arranger and Lead volumes. By pressing both the -VALUE + push buttons at the
same time, you obtain the transposition by one octave upward or downward.
SAVE/ENTER This is used to store and save on disk any edits or modifications carried out by the user.
EXIT This push button is pressed once to return to the main page of the display. EXIT is disabled in the Song Play menu where
the SONG PLAY push button should be pressed again exit the Song Play mode and return to the main display page. On
the main display page, the EXIT push button takes over the SPLIT function.
The ten STYLE push buttons are used to enter the number of a folder or file while managing the hard disk or modifying parameters, where they
are used as a numeric keypad.
