on the power.) The front panel LED Display will display the
following message:

DOUBLE MODE (4 Voices)
4. If you are using an amplifier, first set the amplifier Volume
to a suitable position, and then adjust the EX-800 VOLUME
control for the desired level. If the sound becomes harsh
or distorted, turn down the EX-800 VOLUME and/or the
amp Volume.
2. SELECTING PROGRAMS
Any of the 64 different sounds programmed into the EX-800’s
memory may be instantly selected. Each program location is
identified by a two digit “Program Number”, which is used
whenever a program is stored, recalled or moved from one lo
cation (Program Number) to another.
(1) Program Numbers
A program number is a two digit number ranging from
!! to 88 (the digits 0 and 9 are not used). The first digit
indicates the Program “Bank”, and the second number
indicates the individual program WITHIN that Program
Bank. For example, Program Number 3S would be pro
gram # 6 in bank 3. The 64 program locations are ar
ranged in 8 banks or groups of 8 programs each:
(2) Selecting Programs
When the Power switch is first turned on, the LED Dis
play shows the following:
The display indicates Program Number “ !! ” and the
“POLY” mode, the normal playing mode, have been
selected.

GRAMS and to SELECT PARAMETERS within a program.
When the EX-800 is turned on, Program Select mode is au

play). The PROG/PARA button is used to switch between
the two modes.
IF ALL 6 DIGITS ARE DISPLAYED, YOU ARE IN PARAMETER
