Selecting Slots
16/8/4 buttons
These buttons, at the top of the display, select how many
Slots are shown at once. Smaller numbers of Slots leave
more room to show the Comments; larger numbers let you
select between more Slots without switching screens. You
can change between these settings at any time, as
convenient, and the setting is stored with the Set List.
Selecting within the current group of
Slots
To select one of the Slots shown on the display:
1. Press the desired button.
The button becomes highlighted, and the large Slot
number/name at the top of the screen are updated
accordingly.
Also notice that the comments area, above the Slot buttons,
updates to show the contents for the selected Slot. You can
view the comments in this position above the Slots, or
dedicate the entire screen to showing the comments; for
more information, see “Using the Comment Pad” on
page 130.
Selecting outside the current group of
Slots
To select a Slot which is not shown on the display:
1. Use the next and previous arrow-buttons at the
bottom of the screen to browse through the groups of
16.
The labels for next/previous will vary depending on the
current group of Slots, and on the number of Slots being
shown. For instance, if 16 Slots are being shown and the
current group is 0-15, the buttons will show 112-127 and 16-
31, respectively.
As you browse, the current selection does not change until
you actually press one of the Slot buttons.
2. When the desired group of Slots is displayed, press the
button for the desired Slot.
The button becomes highlighted, and the comments and
large Slot number/name at the top of the screen are updated
accordingly.
Selecting using data entry controls
In addition to using the touch-screen buttons, you can select
Set List and Slots using the standard data entry controls,
including the numeric keypad, rotary encoder, and Inc/Dec.
The VALUE slider is reserved for modulation, and sends
CC#18 when the Slot contains a Program or Combination.
Returning to the current group of Slots
If you have navigated away from the current group of Slots,
you can return easily:
• Touch the name of the current item, at the top of
the screen (e.g. “SGX-2/PRG I-A000 KRONOS
German Grand”).
The display changes to show the group of Slots containing
the current selection.
Stepping through Slots in order
In addition to selecting Slots via the on-screen buttons, you
can use Inc/Dec or a footswitch assigned to Program Up or
Program Down to step through the Slots in order, one by
one.
Selecting with Inc/Dec
1. Touch one of the on-screen Slot buttons.
Once a Slot is selected, you can use the Inc and Dec buttons
to step through the list of sounds.
If you’re on the last Slot on the current page, pressing Inc
will advance you to the first Slot of the next group.
Program Up/Down footswitch
The Program Up (or Program Down) footswitch always
steps through the list, regardless of whether or not one of the
buttons has the UI focus.
The assignable footswitch can be assigned to Program Up or
Program Down on the Global mode Controllers page.
Wrapping between Set Lists
Inc/Dec and Program Up/Down wrap between Set Lists. For
instance:
1. Select Slot 127 in Set List 5.
2. Press Inc, or the Program Up footswitch.
Slot 0 of Set List 6 is selected.
If you’ve edited any Slots in the Set List, a dialog will appear
prompting you to save your changes before proceeding.
Otherwise, your edits will be lost when the new Set List is
selected. For more information, see “Save Changes before
changing Set List: a confirmation dialog” on page 130.

necessary to show the appropriate group of Slots.

not affect the reception or transmission of Set List Program
and Bank Select messages.
