Chapter 1: Overview of the DPS16

Entering characters

You can either select a character using the [JOG] wheel or type a character directly to enter characters in the

character fields (for naming virtual tracks or Projects).

■ Using the [JOG] wheel to enter characters

1. Use the [CURSOR] key to move the cursor to a character field.

2. Press the [NUMBER/NAME] key.

The [NUMBER/NAME] key’s LED flashes and an underline appears under the first character in the character

field. This underline indicates that you can enter a character.

3. Rotate the [JOG] wheel to select a character to enter.

The following numbers, letters, and symbols can be selected by the [JOG] wheel.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ ¥ ] ^ _

4. Use the [CURSOR] key or the [SHUTTLE] knob to move the underline to the second character

position.

While the [NUMBER/NAME] key’s LED flashes, you can move the underline back and forth using the [CUR-

SOR]

key or the [SHUTTLE] knob.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to complete naming.

If you enter a wrong character, use the [CURSOR] key or the [SHUTTLE] knob to move the underline to the

character you wish to correct, and enter a correct character.

6. Press the [NUMBER/NAME] key again.

The [NUMBER/NAME] key’s LED turns off, and the entered characters are confirmed.

■ Entering characters directly

You can enter characters directly into a character field by using the keys on the top panel.

1. Use the [CURSOR] key to move the cursor to a character field.

2. Press the [NUMBER/NAME] key.

The [NUMBER/NAME] key’s LED flashes, and the keys on the top panel function as number/letter keys.

Letters, numbers, and symbols are printed below the keys. The following characters can be entered.
