HOW TO SELECT A STYLE

There are twelve STYLES push buttons to the right of the display, each of which indicates a musical genre. For each of these Ketron has fore-
seen up to a maximum of 42 Styles. When, from the main page of the display and with the CUSTOM STYLE push button enabled (LED lit), you
press one of these STYLES push buttons the display shows five Styles on the right and another five on the left. The individual Style is called
up using the relative function key (F1-F10), situated at the side of the display that, when pressed, immediately enables the Style for the
Arranger. To check if the Style has been enabled simply look at the name that appears at the top of the central window of the display.

groups of Styles that are not currently displayed, simply press the STYLES push button again to which the groups belong or use the PAGE +/-
push buttons. The display will show the Styles that follow, which can be selected again using the relative push buttons at the side of the dis-
play (F1-F10).
