Question: Are there many shortcuts to make editing easier?

Answer: There are many editing shortcuts. Here are some of them:

You can search for any object (program, effect, keymap, control source, etc.) using any of 10 selectable search strings. To select a search string, press and hold ENTER and strike one of the numbered keypad buttons. Type a few characters from the name of what you are looking for, and then press ENTER a second time. Each numbered button will rememeber the entry last stored on it. These may be stored to disk as well by saving the Master parameters.

When editing, you can assign any controller or even assign keyboard ranges by holding down the ENTER button and activating the controller or striking keys on the keyboard. For example, to assign the mod wheel as a control source, just hold enter and move the wheel.

You can even scroll through the control source list (in edit mode only) by pressing and holding ENTER and playing up and down the keyboard. Each of the control sources is assigned a number so the corresponding key number will call up that control source. This is particularly usefull if you have a few favorite control sources and memorize what key they are on - it is much quicker than scrolling or entering the number on the keypad.

You can also mark a series of screens in an editor and then jump automatically to them by using the Mark and Jump buttons.

When you are in the keymap editor, if you hilite the Key Range Parameter and hold enter, then striking a key will switch the display to the range that key is in and the sample assigned to the range will change appropriately.

With version 3, you can automatically switch layers by holding enter and striking a key while in the program editor. The 2000 will switch to the layer assigned to that key. If the key is in more than one layer, repeatedly pressing the key will toggle through the layers. For this to work you must be on a parameter whose value is not a keyrange or control source (or the shortcuts listed above will function).
