The Performance Job mode features some convenient data organization and initialization tools, for use when creating
Performances and archiving them. Press the [JOB] button in the Performance mode to enter the Performance Job mode.
Performance Job—Basic Operation
1
In the Performance mode, press the [JOB]
button to enter Performance Job Mode.
2 Select the desired Job menu by pressing the
appropriate button, [F1] – [F4].
3 Move the cursor to the desired parameter, then
set the value.
4 Press the [ENTER] button. (The display
prompts you for confirmation.)
To cancel the Job, press the [DEC/NO] button.
5 Press the [INC/YES] button to execute the Job.
After the Job has been completed, a “Completed”
message appears and operation returns to the original
display.
6 Press the [PERFORM] button to return to the
Performance Play mode.
Even if you execute the Job, selecting a different Performance
or turning the power off without storing will erase the
Performance data. Make sure to store the Performance data to
internal memory by pressing the [STORE] button before
selecting a different Performance or turning the power off.
Initializing the Performance—[F1]

Edit Recall—[F2] Recall
If you are editing a Performance but you have not stored it
before switching to another Performance, the edits you

Recall function to restore the Performance with your latest
edits intact.
