THE DISPLAY, THE MAIN PAGE AND THE FUNCTION PUSH BUTTONS

From the main page of the display, the programming functions can be accessed using the function push buttons at the side of the display

together with the dedicated push buttons. Based on the functions called up, the display shows the related parameters and enables their selec-

tion thanks to the push buttons at the side of the display (or function keys from F1 to F10. They are referred to as function buttons because

they have a different function depending on the page displayed). Therefore simply press the function push button adjacent to a parameter to

enable or select that parameter. When the parameters are situated in the middle of the display then they are selected using the CURSOR + and

CURSOR – push buttons.

While you will find detailed descriptions of the modification pages further on, below is a description of the single parameters that are displayed.

Number, name and volume of the style: This indicates the name and number of the style currently in use. Use the STYLE push buttons to call

up another one. To modify the volume of the arranger, press the VALUE + or VALUE – push buttons, which in this page are used as Balance.

Sound selected and volume: To change the sound in use on the Right lead section use the VOICES push buttons related to the single group

or the USER VOICES push button. The pair of RIGHT VOLUME push buttons are used to modify the volume of the sound.

Second Voices: This indicates a second sound to be layered with the Right lead section. It is entered using the 2ND VOICE function in the PLAY
