Single Buttons

they are: [Select]   and  , [Prev]  , and   [Next].
Double Button Presses
Certain buttons, when pressed simultaneously with another button, have other functions. They 
are called button pairs. The MPS20 has two button pairs: [Select Jump] and [Value Jump].

buttons.
Value Jump

Some buttons, when held, perform additional functions. Below is a brief description of these 
buttons.
Category Buttons

category. You can change the default voice or rhythm. To do so, select the voice or rhythm you 
want to use as the default. Press and hold the category button until the display scrolls SAVED, 
then the ID number. (Release the button when SAVED scrolls across the display.)
Prev   and Next   Buttons
