Tapping each button triggers an SR-16 voice. • Function buttons. These six buttons select various functions, some of which include multiple "pages" of options. • Tempo/Page buttons. These alter the tempo and also select different "pages" present in the Drum Set, Record Setup, MIDI Setup, and Backup functions. • Pattern select buttons. These choose between the A, B, and Fill variations for a Pattern. • Mode buttons. These choose between Pattern and Song modes, Perform (playback) and Compose (record) modes, and the Preset and User patterns. • "Tape recorder" buttons. These control playback and stop, and work similarly to a tape recorder. • Display and data entry buttons. The display informs you of the instrument's status, and also prompts you for data from time to time. A detailed description of the display follows shortly. The data entry buttons include number entry buttons (0-9) and up arrow (increment, or INC) and down arrow (decrement, or DEC). The latter increase or decrease parameter values on step at a time. • Huge volume knob. If you're used to scratching a turntable, you'll love the feel of this knob. It regulates the volume of the entire unit.
