The Bank Play Mode; The Shift Mode - Yamaha DX27 Owner's Manual

3. The BANK PLAY
Mode
In this mode, you can play any of the voices currently in the DX27's 24-voice
INTERNAL memory individually.
The BANK PLAY mode enables you to access the 96 BANK memory locations.
These initially contain the first group of 96 voices from the 192-voice PRESET
ROM. Using the SHIFT mode, however, you can also access the second group
of presets while in the BANK PLAY mode. Later, you can store any voices you like
in any order in the these BANKS.
While in the INTERNAL PLAY mode, press any of the BANK buttons; BANK
A-BANK D. This will select the appropriate BANK, and the 24 voices in that bank
can be selected by pressing any of the DX27's 24 voice buttons.

The SHIFT Mode

By entering the DX27 SHIFT mode while in BANK PLAY, the correspondingly
numbered voice from the second group (SHIFT group) of preset voices will be
selected. Note that in the BANK PLAY mode this only applies to voices which have
been stored in the BANK memory from the 192-voice PRESET memory. Voices
stored in the BANK from the 24-voice INTERNAL memory will not change when
the SHIFT mode is selected.
To enter the SHIFT mode, hold down the INTERNAL PLAY button and press the
+1 button. To return to the NORMAL mode hold down the INTERNAL PLAY button
and press the -1 button.
