2. OCTAVE Buttons
3. Use the OCT- and OCT+ buttons to shift the keyboard’s octave up or down (for 4 octaves each direction at most), and the buttons will light up. When you press to shift the octaves, the lights will blink accordingly, e.g. if you shift 2 octaves up, the OCT+ will blink twice.
4. Arpeggiator ON/OFF Button
