As an alternative to using the  buttons to select a program, you can also use the function 01–16 buttons.
For example, try pressing function button 16.
Program number 16 of the SYNTH category will be selected.
In this way, you can use the function 01–16 buttons to select program numbers 1–16 of the category that's
currently selected.
Next we'll explain how to select program 17 and after.

Press the NUM LOCK button to the left of the function 01–16 buttons, so that the indicator to its left is lit‐up.
This is the "Num Lock on" state.

Press the function 16 button (GROUP UP) once.
Then press the NUM LOCK button once again to make its indicator go dark ("Num Lock off").
8.
Now you can press the function 01–16 buttons to select program numbers 17–32 of the category that's
currently selected.
Turn Num Lock on once again, and press the function 16 button (GROUP UP); now the function 01–16 buttons
will select programs 33–48.
If you press the function 15 button (GROUP DOWN), then the function 01–16 buttons will once again select
programs 1–16.
In this way, you can turn Num Lock on and press the function 15 button (GROUP DOWN) or 16 button
(GROUP UP) to change the set of sixteen programs selected by the function 01–16 buttons; programs 1–16, 17–
32, 33–48, and so on.
Go ahead and select programs from a variety of categories to hear how they sound.

Selecting combinations

You'll select combinations in essentially the same way as selecting programs (described above). Let's select a
combination, and play the keyboard to hear the sound.
1.
Press the COMBI button to enter Combination mode.
The display will show the COMBI PLAY page. The COMBI PLAY page will always appear when you press the
COMBI button.
The lower line of the display shows the combination number and the combination name.
2.
The method for selecting combinations is the same as for selecting programs. Use the CATEGORY SELECT
buttons to specify a category, and then use the  buttons to select a combination.
Alternatively, you can use the function 01–16 buttons to select a combination in the same way.
