Simply use the data wheel and/or INC/DEC keys to select an appropriate category for your
sound.
How to set alternate categories
Sometimes, a sound can fall into several categories. For example, you might create a string -
like sound that could also be an ‘ensemble’ sound and a ‘pad’ sound. Using the NEXT/PREV

When you view by category, the sound will appear in the STRINGS, ENSEMBLE and PAD
category lists.
