Using the ‘Numeric’ function to Select
Tones, Rhythms and Performances
The “Numeric” function can be used to enter the number of the Tone,
Rhythm or Performance memory you want to use, which is faster than
scrolling with the dial.
Below please nd an example that shows you how to use the “NUMERIC”
function for selecting Tones.
1. Press the TONE [0]~[9] button that contains the
instrumental sound that you want to play.
MEMO
By pressing and holding one of these buttons, you activate the
lock function for Tone selection, which means that Tones no
longer change when you select Performance memories. See
“Filtering Performance Memories Settings (Lock function)” (p.
63).
2. Press the [NUMERIC] button to open the following
window popup:
Right Display
The TONE [0]~[9] buttons ash.
3. Press the TONE buttons that correspond to the gures you
want to enter ([0]~[9]).
For Tones, you can enter up to 4 digits. To select Tone 6, for instance,
simply pressing the [6] button is enough (the display will show
“0006”).
NOTE
If you make a mistake, the quickest way to correct it is by
pressing the [0] button four times (to enter “0000”) and then
restarting.
For Rhythms up to 3 digits can be entered.
NOTE
If you try to enter a higher number than possible for the current
item, a warning is displayed (“Tone doesn’t exist” ).
4. Push the dial to conrm your entry.
The “Numeric” pop-up disappears and the display jumps to the
Tone (and family) you selected.
