Using the Display and Related Controls
As you’ve seen in the sections above, the AR-80 features an exceptionally large and easy-to-understand
display. It provides comprehensive at-a-glance information on all current settings, and gives you
convenient, intuitive control over the AR-80’s functions.
In this section, we’ll take a look at some example displays, and see how the surrounding panel buttons
are used with them.
1.
Call up the Help function by pressing the HELP button. To leave this
display, press the HELP button again.
1 MENU buttons
These are used to select the corresponding Menu pages (when Menu pages are shown at the
left and right sides of the display).
2 PAGE buttons
These buttons are used when the book icon appears in the display. Pressing one of the PAGE
button selects the next or previous available page or group of Menu pages.
3 DATA CONTROL buttons
These are divided into eight sets of up/down buttons, and are used to make selections or ad-
just settings (up or down correspondingly) for functions shown directly above them. For
example, use the four Data Control buttons directly underneath “UP/DOWN” in the display
to scroll up or down in the current Help message. (Pressing either of the top two buttons
scrolls up, and either of the bottom two scrolls down.)
4 DISPLAY SELECT buttons
These are used to select the various main functions and their pages. (Each button lights
when the corresponding function is selected.) Pressing another function’s button switches to
the selected function. However, the function “freezes” when the VOICE EDIT, ACCOMP.
PROGRAM, SEQUENCE PROGRAM, HELP, and HOLD buttons are pressed. To exit from
these functions, press the same button again.
