Playing programs and combinations
By default, Combination mode will be selected when you turn on the power.
Play the keyboard, and you will hear the sound of bank A combination number 000.
A combination consists of up to eight programs that are split, zoned, layered or velocity-
switched across the keyboard. A combination can also use up to two Arpeggiators simulta-
neously (a program can use only one Arpeggiator), letting you produce far more complex
sounds than a single program.
Although you could simply continue selecting and playing different combinations, let’s start by
selecting and listening to the “basic” sounds of the microX – programs.
Note:
If you don’t hear any sound when you play the keyboard: Check the connections once
again. Also make sure that the microX’s VOLUME and the volume of your powered speakers or
stereo amp are turned up appropriately.
Selecting programs by bank and number
1.
Press one of the PROGRAM [A]–[GM] buttons. (The button will light.)
You will enter Program mode, and the bank you specified will be selected. Notice that the
upper line of the display indicates “PROG 0: Play” (mode name, page number and name).
2.
Make sure that “Program Select” (program number and name) is selected.
If this is not selected, use the ClickPoint [
π
