A word about Style banks and names. Styles in banks from
"8BEAT/16 BEAT" to "WORLD 2", and from "LATIN" to "CON-
TEMP." are standard Styles, the user can't normally overwrite
with a Load operation (unless you remove the protection; see
"Factory Style and Pad Protect" on page 257).
Styles in banks from "USER1" to "USER3" are location where
you can load new Styles from an external device, or save newly
created or edited Styles.
Like the User Styles, Styles in the "FAVORITE" banks are loca-
tions where you can load new Styles from an external device, or
save newly created or edited Styles. In addition, you can edit the
names of these banks as it appears in the display, so that you can
have a custom set of Styles. See "The Favorite banks" on
page 110.
Each button (Style bank) contains four pages, each with up to
eight Styles. Repeatedly press a bank button to cycle between the
available pages.
If you keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press one of
the buttons of this section, the "Write Style Performance" win-
dow appears in the display, and you can save the current Style
Performance (see "Write Style Performance dialog box" on
page 110).
