Playing a program
Here’s how to select and play a program.
The MS2000/MS2000R contain a total of 128 programs, with 16 programs in each of eight banks (A–H).
You can select programs in Program Play mode. If the LCD screen shows that you are in LCD Edit mode or Global mode,
press the [EXIT] key.
The method of changing the program or pitch differs between the MS2000 and the MS2000R. Also, the SELECT [1]–[16] keys
can be used to play a program only on the MS2000R.
