Themaximumpolyphonymayalsodependonvarious
otherparameters;formoreinformation,see“A note

Basic operations
Afteryou’veturnedontheOASYS,here’showto
performbasicoperationssuchasselectingmodesand
pages.
1. Selecting modes

Pressoneofthefrontpanelmodebuttons(COMBI,
PROGRAM,SEQ,SAMPLING,GLOBAL,orDISK)
toenterthecorrespondingmode.
2. Selecting pages
Eachmodehasalargenumberofparameters,which
aregroupedintopages.Thesearefurthersubdivided
bytabsintouptoninetabpages.

Toselectamode,presstheappropriatemodekey
(COMBIswitch–DISKswitch).
HerewewilluseProgram
modeasanexampleforour
explanation.PressthePROGRAMswitch.

screenwillindicate“PROGRAMP1:Basic/Vector,”
andthepagegroupwillchange.
WhenyoupresstheEXITswitch,youwillreturntoP0
