Cross-point button numbers
This description applies to the example of a
32-button system.
From the left, the first 31 buttons are
numbered 1, 2, ... 30, 31. When the 32nd
button is set to be a [SHIFT] button, these
buttons can also be switched to select
signals numbered from 32 to 62. While the
[SHIFT] button is held down, these switch
to numbers 32 to 62, or alternatively, every
time the button is pressed, switching is
made between numbers 1 to 31 and 32 to
62. Similarly, the reentry buttons can be
switched between two sets of numbers: 121
to 123, and 125 to 127.
Both the assignment of the 32nd button to a
[SHIFT] button and the selection of the
button operation mode can be done in a
Setup menu.

and PGM/PST banks, and the auxiliary bus
control block. According to the settings
made in the menu, the video and key signals
are assigned to the cross-point buttons in
pairs.
