Choosing Category Default Programs

You can choose a "Category default program" from each Category that will be recalled
each time you press that Category's button. To save a Category default program, first select
a Program using any Program select method (Alpha wheel,
buttons, Program/Multi buttons). A Category button for the current Category will have a
lit LED. Next, press and hold the currently lit Category button until the display shows the
message "default program saved." The Category default program has now been successfully
saved.
You can only save a Program as a Category default for the Category that it belongs to. If you
try to save a Category default program to a different Category, you will see a pop up message
in the display.

Choosing Favorites

You can save six Favorite Programs (or Multis) from any Category to the six Favorite buttons
beneath the display. Once saved, these favorite Programs can be recalled from any Mode with
a single button press. To save the currently selected Program or Multi to a Favorite button,
press and hold a Favorite button until the display shows the message "Saved to fav. button."

Transposition

The Transpose buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the Artis SE
keyboard in semitones (ST), also known as half steps. This is a convenient way to change the
key of a song without learning to play it in a different key. The Transpose buttons are located
to the left of the display. The Transpose buttons also transpose MIDI notes sent to the USB
and MIDI out ports.
Press the Transpose
