Effects
number shows the index of the current effect step, for example the first, second, third steps etc. have
index 1, 2, 3 etc.; the index is independent of the step number.
To move between effects, highlight the FX field and use [NEXT] or [LAST]. To go directly to an effect
step, press [FX] # [*] where # is the effect step. If you don’t specify a step number, step 1 will be
highlighted. If the step does not exist, you will be warned that you are creating a new item. Press [*]
again to create the new step, or [CLR] or [UNDO] to cancel the command.
To change values in effect fields, hold down the [SHIFT] key and move the trackball to change from
non-edit mode (green) to edit mode (yellow), then use the trackball to highlight the field to be edited.
Edit the field using the wheel, or [+] or [-] key to change the field, or enter a value from the keypad, as
apprpriate. Press [*] to return to the non-edit mode (green)
