Other Selection Methods

There are three other ways to select a program or setup:
¥ Type its ID (number) on the alphanumeric buttonpad, then press Enter
¥ Scroll through the list using the Alpha Wheel
¥ Scroll through the list using the Plus or Minus button under the Alpha Wheel

Internal Voices Mode and KB3 Mode

When using the Alpha Wheel or the Plus or Minus button to scroll through programs, you can
scroll through program categories, which you canÕt do with the Next Group and Previous
Group buttons. For example, if youÕre playing the program at bank entry 1H, you can turn the
Alpha Wheel one click to the right to scroll to bank entry 2A.
Using the Alpha Wheel or the Plus or Minus button also enables you to scroll through banks.
You can scroll through all four banks within each performance mode, and you can scroll from
the Internal Voices banks to the KB3 banks and back.
The Next Group and Previous Group buttons select programs sequentially by bank entry (and
program ID) within the current category. When you select a category with one of the Sound
Select buttons, the program you see is the program that was current the last time you were in
that category. This enables you to select your favorite program in each category simply by
pressing the Sound Select button for that category.

MIDI Setups Mode

Using the Alpha Wheel or the Plus or Minus button scrolls through all the occupied banks in
MIDI Setups mode, but wonÕt scroll into either the Internal-Voice programs or the KB3
programs.
The Setup Select buttons select the 1st through 16th setup in a group of setups. The Next Group
and Previous Group buttons select different groups of 16 setups. This is especially useful when
youÕre storing your own setups in the User bank, because you can store the setups in logical
groupings of 16, which is extremely convenient for organizing setups to correspond to a play
list. For example, you might put all the setups for your Þrst set into the Þrst group of User setups
the Sound/Setup Select region (we call these mode-selection buttons). The mode youÕre in
affects how the other Sound/Setup Select buttons work. When you press one of these
buttons, its LED ßashes to prompt you to select a sound source.
press a mode-selection button twice instead of pressing a mode-selection button then a
sound-source button. This causes the PC2 to revert to whatever sound source and
program or setup you were using the last time you were in that mode.
there are alternatives, as described below.
As an alternative, you can skip Step 2 above, and press one of the Sound/Setup Select
buttons immediately after pressing a mode-selection button. This selects the
corresponding program or setup in the same sound source you were using the last time
you were in that mode.
