About the Favorites function
The Favorites function is a convenient way to register sounds for
quick recall. You can register not only internal sounds, but also
register MIDI bank select and program change messages to recall
sounds on an external device.
If you want to keep the registrations and settings that you
made for the Favorites function, you must save them before
you turn off the power. To save these settings, execute the
Write Favorites function. (see page 189)
What you can register in Favorites
You can register the following as Favorites.
Sound bank and number
• Internal (program or combination)
or
• External (MIDI bank select and program change)
Note: If you specify External, the internal sound engine will not
produce sound. If you want to simultaneously recall both an
internal sound and a sound on an external sound module, specify
Internal and use a combination where you've specified EXT or
EX2 settings.
