).

folder.
Selecting elements
Sync P. (Synchronized Path)
Touch this button to see the Song assigned to the selected Player.
This is useful to quickly return to it, after you have browsed
through long directories and "dug" into different folders.
Select
Selects the highlighted item in the display. If a Song is already
playing, it stops, and the new Song is ready to play. You are
returned to the main page.
Search
The Search function allows for searching a Song file in the vari-
ous media. See "Searching files" on page 250 for more informa-
tion.
Play All
When this button is touched, all midifiles and MP3 files con-
tained in the current directory are added to a new Jukebox list,
that is automatically assigned to Player 1. The order in which
they are played depends on the current sorting method, i.e., how
the files are shown in the display.
You can use this Jukebox list as any other list of this type (i.e.,
start the playback with SEQ1 PLAY/STOP, jump to the next Song
in the list with SHIFT + >>, edit it in the Jukebox page...).
Note: A Jukebox list can include up to 127 Songs. If your folder con-
tains more items, only the first 127 will be considered.
Hint: If you don't want to lose the list when turning the instrument
off, go to the Jukebox page and save it to disk as a ".JBX" file.
Selecting a Song by its ID number
Each Song in a folder on a device (up to 9,999) has a progressive
ID number assigned. When the "Show Song Number" option is
selected in the Song Select page menu (see below), you can see
this number before the Song's name in the Song Select window.
You can use this number to select the Song by composing the
corresponding number, speeding up the Song retrieval when you
are using an hard disk filled with midifiles.
While in the Song Select window, press the SELECT button to
open the keypad, and enter the number corresponding to the
Song to be selected.
While in any page of the Song Play mode, press the SELECT but-
ton twice to open the keypad.
Note: If no Song corresponds to the dialed number, the "Song not
available" message will appear.
Warning: While the directory may contain more than 9999 files,
you can't select Songs outside the 0001-9999 range when using the
numeric keypad.
