give you a list of manufacturers and heads. Select a head by pressing the touch screen. Alternatively scroll
around the Window using the cursor keys, and press ENTER when the cursor is over the correct head.
Once you have chosen a head you will be returned to the Patch Window. Press the PATCH IT soft button to
