Basic Operation Basic Operation This section describes basic A3000 operations. Selecting the Mode and Function You select the mode by pressing the corresponding mode button. You can then select the function by pressing the appropriate function key. The five mode buttons are aligned vertically along the selection area, while the six function keys are aligned along the top. If you want to change the filter settings for one of your samples, for example, you first press the EDIT button (to select EDIT mode), and then press the third function key (to select the EDIT mode's FILTER function).

Selecting the Screen When you select a function as described above, the A3000 displays a corresponding screen that you can use to change various settings or execute an operation. Most functions, however, contain too many selections for a single screen - and therefore offer you multiple screens, each with a different group of settings or operations. Since you can only view one screen at a time, you must switch among the screens as necessary in order to access all of the settings or operations that you need. You can switch from one screen to another (within the same function) in either of two ways: (1) by turning Knob 1, or (2) by pressing the same function key. These two methods are explained in further detail below. The marking at the lower left of the screen indicates your position in the screen se- quence. A w mark means that you are at the function's "first" screen. A v mark means that you are at the final screen (you cannot advance to any additional screens). A v w mark means that you are somewhere in the middle of the sequence (you can move both for- ward and backward to different screens). 86 Chapter 3 Basics
