There are five screens in program edit mode and the following are the functions:
1. Assign Screen Assigns a note number to the pad, and a sound to the note number.
2. Parameter Screen Edits the tone using the envelope, filter, etc.
3. DRUM screen To select “DRUM 1 - 4” and for MIDI setup of the internal sampler.
4. PURGE screen To erase all unused sounds (sounds not assigned to programs) from
