User Interface Basics; Sound/Setup Select - Kurzweil PC88 A Step By Step Manual

MIDI Setups mode allows you to have up to 4 zones, with a different program on each
zone. Therefore, the maximum number of programs you can split or layer from the
keyboard is four. (But the instrument can still respond on all 16 MIDI channels from an
external MIDI controller or sequencer.)
MIDI Setups mode and Internal Voices mode function identically, with only a few
exceptions. You will always only have one zone in Internal Voices mode, since you are
playing a single Program. (It is possible to start in Internal Voices mode and add zones,
but when you go to save what you have done, you will have to save it as a Setup.)

We already mentioned how you can use these buttons to call up programs when in
Internal Voices mode, but you can also use them for calling up Setups when in MIDI
Setups mode. Notice that the 16 buttons are labeled with the numbers 1-16. By using
these buttons along with the Previous Group and Next Group buttons, you have access
to 16 different Setups at a time with only one button press. The 16 buttons can then be
used to access the Setups as follows:
Group A Setups 1-16
Group B Setups 17-32
Group C Setups 33-48
etc.
There are a total of 128 locations for Setups, which gives you 8 possible groups (A-H).

Program name. This shows you the name of the Program in the currently selected Zone
