Blocking the programs of the
real time tracks
When you change an arrangement, you usually
change also the programs assigned to the real time
tracks. If you wish to change the accompaniment, but
not the programs of the real time tracks, turn off the
SINGLE TOUCH button led. With the SINGLE
TOUCH led on, the arrangement will also change the
programs and the volume of the real time tracks.
