Special Button Functions
The Mode buttons and the Chan/Bank Down button have additional functions, depending on 
the mode or editor you’re in. When you’re in the Program or Setup Editor, they function 
according to the orange labeling under each button. They also work as track mutes on the MIX 
page of Song mode.
When you’re in the Sample Editor, the Program, Setup, Q Access, MIDI, Master, and Song 
mode buttons function according to the orange labeling near each button. The table below 
describes all of the special button functions.
