currently selected Setup Memory.
VALUE
1. Press the FUNC and TRANSPOSE buttons simultaneously.
2. Select the Setup Memory in which the Tone settings will be stored.
Setup Memories are arranged in four Groups (A — D) with eight Numbers (1— 8) per Group.
* Setup Memory “A-1” is a basic setting (preset) and therefore cannot be overwritten using the
Write operation.
3. Press the YES(DEC) button, and the current Tone setting will be written into the Setup
Memory you have selected. To cancel the procedure, press NO(INC) button.
@ Selecting a Setup Memory
To select a Setup Memory, press the FUNC button (so the indicator is dark), while the disply shows
the Setup Memory, and then press the GROUP/NUMBER buttons that correspond to the Setup
Memory you want. (The appropriate indicators will light.)
* When the number of the Setup Memory is not indicated, press the following buttons and make
sure the indicators go out.
BANK M button / PCM C button / LEVEL button / VARIATION button / FUNC button
If you then edit the settings in the Setup Memory, a point will appear in the display.
