LED functions
Two LEDs serve as "speed" indicators: the rate LED and the tempo LED.
The rate LED may blink at a different speed depending on which of
three functions has been selected in the LFO section: [lfo 1], [lfo 2], or
[s&h].
The mod LEDs indicate that an edit has been made in the Mod Matrix
that affects one or more of the parameters in the section where the mod
LED is lit. If it isn't obvious at first which parameter is being "modded,"
press the [mod matrix] button and look at the lists of sources and
destinations. For more information on the Mod Matrix, see Chapter 6 of
your User Manual.
The loop LED is similar to the mod LEDs in that it indicates that the loop
parameter has been activated inside the selected envelope. More
information about looping the envelopes can be found on pages 71-72 of
your User Manual.

Button functions

[edit] buttons – A green LED indicates that an [edit] button has been
pressed. This means that a particular set of parameters is being shown in
the display for inspection and editing.
Selection buttons – Some buttons allow you to select between different
sets of parameters that share a common knob or set of knobs. For
example, the [lfo 1], [lfo 2], and [s&h] buttons determine which of those
three functions will be controlled by the rate knob, and also call up
parameters from that function in the display. Similarly, the [pitch/mod],
[filter], and [amp] buttons determine which of those three envelopes will
be controlled by the five knobs in the env section.
Parameter buttons – Other buttons edit or toggle the parameter under
their control: for example, the [mono/poly] button or the [octave]
buttons in the osc section. Other examples include the [porta] button,
