Choosing Category Default Programs
You can choose a “Category default program” from each Category that will be recalled
each time you press that Category’s button. To save a Category default program, rst select
a Program using any Program select method (Alpha wheel, – and + buttons, Category
buttons, Program/Multi buttons). A Category button for the current Category will have a
lit LED. Next, press and hold the currently lit Category button until the display shows the
message “default program saved.” e Category default program has now been successfully
saved.
You can only save a Program as a Category default for the Category that it belongs to. If you
try to save a Category default program to a dierent Category, you will see a pop up message
in the display.
Choosing Favorites
You can save six Favorite Programs (or Multis) from any Category to the six Favorite buttons
beneath the display. Once saved, these favorite Programs can be recalled from any Mode with
a single button press. To save the currently selected Program or Multi to a Favorite button,
press and hold a Favorite button until the display shows the message “Saved to fav. button.”
Transposition
e Transpose buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the Artis SE
keyboard in semitones (ST), also known as half steps. is is a convenient way to change the
key of a song without learning to play it in a dierent key. e Transpose buttons are located
to the left of the display. e Transpose buttons also transpose MIDI notes sent to the USB
and MIDI out ports.
Press the Transpose – or + buttons to transpose the Artis SE keyboard down or up by one
semitone. e top line of the display shows the current transposition value. Pressing both
Transpose – and + simultaneously will reset the transposition to 0. To transpose up and
down by octave intervals (12 ST), press the Octave button, then use the Transpose – and +
buttons to change the octave.
e maximum transposition value possible is +/–36 semitones.
