About the PLAY Mode
This mode is used to edit and play programs. Press the [PLAY] button to enter the PLAY mode.
PLAY Mode Functions
The PLAY mode includes the 6 functions listed below (selected via the [F1] — [F6] function buttons, respectively).
[F1] PROGRAM Button
This function is used primarily to select and play programs. The PROGRAM function also allows switch-
ing between the single and multi program modes, and setting the level, transpose, and portamento of indi-
vidual programs (page 89). The PgmSel (Program Select), PgmMix (Program Mix), and PgmPorta
(Program Portamento) pages can be accessed via this function.
[F2] SAMPLE Button
This function can be used to select samples and set up sample banks (page 93). Two pages are provided:
SmpSel (Sample Select) and SmpBank (Sample Bank).
[F3] EASY EDIT Button
Use this function to make program-level adjustments to each sample's playback settings. You make these
settings separately for each program, and they remain effective only while the program is selected. These
changes do not affect the sample's own (local) data. (page 96)
The EASY EDIT function provides access to the following 10 pages: Mix, Output, Out&Gain (Output and
Gain), Filter, Pitch, AmpEG (Amplitude EG), Key, Velocity, Xfade (Crossfade), and Control.

Two pages are provided: S/HSpeed (Sample & Hold Speed), and ADInput (A/D Input).
