Searching for a Song/Style
The E-A7 has a search function that lets you search for songs or styles 
in internal storage or external storage (USB ash drive). Since you can 
search for songs or styles even while performing on the E-A7, you 
can prepare for the next song without making the audience wait.
NOTE
You can’t search for preset styles or songs.

 For more about preset styles and songs, refer to “Reference 
Manual” (PDF).
