Selecting Programs by bank and
number (A)
Here's how to select a program.
For more about the features and functions of Program
mode, see "Program mode" on page 11.
1. Press the front-panel PROG button (the LED will
light up) to enter Program mode.
The upper left side of the LCD screen shows the name
of the current page, PROG P0: Play. This is a good
home base for playing Programs.
Notice the large, highlighted characters in the upper
part of the LCD display. These are the name and
number of the current Program. When these are
highlighted, you can press the INC/DEC buttons to
select the next or previously numbered Program.
You can also turn the VALUE dial to move through the
Programs in larger steps, or enter Program numbers
directly from the numeric keypad.
