Using as a Master Keyboard

Using as a Master Keyboard
This synthesizer is loaded with such a wealth of different features, functions and operations, you may find it difficult to locate and
call up the particular feature you need. This is where the Master function comes in handy. You can use it to memorize the
operations you use most often in each mode, and call them up instantly anytime you need them with a single button press. This
synthesizer has space for a total of 128 of your own User Master settings.
