Using the Assignable Buttons
There are two assignable buttons named  
(ASSIGNABLE 1) and 
 (ASSIGNABLE 2). The  
(ASSIGNABLE 1) button is designed so it is on while 
pressed and off while released. The 
 
(ASSIGNABLE 2) button toggles on (lamp lit) and off 
(lamp unlit) each time it is pressed.
The main use of the assignable buttons is to perform 
real-time operations, mainly for effects. You can 
configure settings for the assignable button with the 
common menu (page E-18).
