Working with Phrases from the Outside
The Phrase List Screen
On the Phrase List screen you’ll find tools for working with entire phrases. To
display the screen, press SONG once or twice until you see the Song Play
screen, and then click F3 (Phrase List).
All of your current project’s phrases appear in the phrase list, loaded
and ready for use. When you’ve added new material to a phrase, or
edited it, a checkmark appears next to it to show that the phrase
is different from the version that’s saved in Internal memory or on
your USB stick.
Reverting to the Saved Version of an Edited Phrase
If you’ve changed a phrase and would like to restore it to its saved version,
select the phrase, and then click F1 (Load). This tool acts like the Revert menu
item in many computer programs.
Quickly Saving a Phrase in the Current Project
When you’ve changed a phrase and would like to save your changes, select
the phrase, and then click F2 (Save). You can also save a phrase using the
WRITE button, but this way is quicker since you avoid the naming screens
and so on. (On the other hand, you can’t rename a phrase this way.)
The Phrase Utility Menu
Click F3 (Utility Menu) to show the Phrase Utility Menu, which contains a
handful of useful phrase utilities:
Menu item: This: How to Use It:
Save All saves all of the phrases

booklet for the
remaining instructions.
