Volume buttons
The control panel is divided into sections according to the group of functions related to the push buttons. From left to right you will see the following:
VOLUME Two rows of six push buttons that are used to control the general volume for the Drums, Bass, Chords, Orchestral, Lower and Right sec-
tions. The volume can be immediately muted by pressing the right-hand and left-hand VOLUME push buttons of one section together
at the same time. To restore the volume set prior to muting simply press one of the two VOLUME push buttons of the section once.

To Mute the volume press the two RIGHT VOLUME push buttons together at the same time.
To restore the previous volume set press a RIGHT VOLUME push button.
PUSH BUTTONS ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE CONTROL PANEL
There are eight push buttons on the left-hand side of the control panel. All of these are provided with a LED which, when lit, points out that the
push button is enabled. They are used to gain access to menus controlling crucial functions.

les to calling up the Voices.

spose the whole Midi file.

board at the left end (E0)
