VA-76 Owner's Manual—Registrations – User Programs
3. Use the [A]/[B] and numeric fields to select the
group, the bank and the memory number where you
wish to write your settings.
One final step before writing your settings to a User
Program is to assign a name to your settings. You only
have to do this the first time you write (or "memo-
rize") new settings to a User Program. On the other
hand, you can also name your User Program at a later
stage and then write it again under the same address.
If you do it now, you do not have to worry about
renaming your User Program.
Use a name that somehow summarizes the memory's
contents. The name of the song you will use these set-
tings for is probably the most explicit name you can
think of.
4. See page 68 for how to enter the desired name.
It is perfectly possible to program several User Pro-
grams for one song. Selecting a User Program is a lot
faster than calling up one of the VA-76's functions,
modifying the settings, etc., while playing. You could
program one User Program for the first part of a song,
another one for the bridge, and a third one for the
closing section. Doing so allows you to "play" with the
effect settings of the Keyboard and/or Arranger parts,
or the VariPhrase part, for example.
5. Press the [EXECUTE] field.
The display confirms that the settings have been writ-
ten to the selected memory and returns to the page of
step (1) on page 127.

9.2 Selecting User Programs

Free Panel

For Song Composer playback, or whenever you want
to start anew, you should always select the factory-set
FreePanel User Program that contains the default set-
tings of your VA-76.
The Free Panel settings can be changed and selected
any time, i.e. even after selecting a "regular" User Pro-
gram.
The Free Panel memory can be selected in two ways:
128
a) Simultaneously press User Program [DOWN] and
[UP]; —or—
b) Press the [USER PROGRAM] button followed by
the [Free Panel] field on the display page that appears
then.
Note: Free Panel is read-only. You cannot write data to this
memory.
Note: Unless you specified a User Program for the Startup
function (see page 131), you can also load the Free Panel
settings by powering off your VA-76 and turning it back on
again.
Selecting a User Program (Group, Bank,
Number)
Selecting User Programs works exactly like selecting
Tones: you can work with the BANK/NUMBER sec-
tion (after pressing [USER PROGRAM]), via the dis-
play, or both. See pages 37 and 39 for details.
Instead of pressing the [USER PROGRAM] button,
you can also press the [Usr Prg] field on the Master
page.
There are two groups (A and B), with eight banks and
eight memories each. You can select the group (A or
B) and the bank (1~8) a little ahead of the song part
where you want the new settings to take effect. Only
when you specify the User Program number will the
corresponding settings be loaded.
