GLOBAL > Category Name
Programs, Combinations, and Arpeggiator are organized into
categories and sub-categories. Categories make it easy to
find a particular type of sound, such as keyboards, bass, or
drums, or a specific type of ARP GE, such as arpeggios or
gated patterns.
Each main category also has up to 8 sub-categories, for finer
degrees of organization. For instance, the Program keyboard
category has sub-categories for acoustic pianos, real electric
pianos, synth electric pianos, and clavs and harpsichords.
Anywhere that you can select Programs, Combinations, or
ARP GEs by bank and number, you can also select them
from the category pop-up.
When shipped from the factory, there are 16 preset Program
and Combination categories, with 2 more left open for your
use (initially named User16 and User17). There are also12
preset ARP GE categories.
On these pages, you can:
⢠Change the names of any of the categories and sub-
categories, including both the factory and user categories
⢠Add sub-categories to the factory categories (up to the
limit of 8)
You can assign a Program or Combination to a category and
sub-category during the Write process. For more
information, see āWrite Programā on page 112, and āWrite
Combinationā on page 433.
To save changes to category names, youāll need to write
the Global settings. To do so, use the menu command

Global Settingā on page 684.
