INTERFACE STRUCTURE

Thanks to its multitasking operating system, the microAR‐
RANGER user interface is structured in "overlapping", active
layers. From the lower level:
• operating modes (Style Play, Backing Sequence, Song
Play, Song, Program)
• edit environments (Global, Card)
• selecting windows (Style Select, Song Select, Program
Select, Performance Select).
When opening an edit environment or a selecting page, the
current operating mode is still working in the background.
Operating modes. (See diagram at the bottom of this page).
At the lowest level, an operating mode is always active. The
current operating mode is indicated by the lit LED on the
STYLE PLAY, B.SEQ, SONG PLAY, SONG or PROGRAM but‐
ton in the MODE section. The relevant icon lights up in the
display.
An operating mode is divided into a main page (the page
where you usually play a Style, a Song or a Program), a
menu, and a series of edit pages.
Press MENU to access the Menu. Use the MENU and PAGE
buttons to browse across the various edit pages. Press EXIT to
go back to the main page.
