Choosing User Programs manually
The procedure for selecting User Programs does not fol-
low the usual routine for selecting Styles or sounds. So
please carefully read the following.
(1) Press the [USER¥PROGR] field on the main page.
Note: If the currently displayed User Program was loaded with
the User Program Finder, the E-80 now displays the USER PRO-
GRAM FINDER page where you can select another registration
in the internal memory or on a card. To work with User Pro-
grams of the currently active Set List, proceed as follows.
Press the USER PROGRAM [LIST] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Use the [P] fields and [˚] to select the page (1~18)
of the required registration.
(3) Press a big field [1]~[8] to select the memory.
—or—
Press a numeric button [1]~[8] to select the corre-
sponding memory (the button you pressed lights).
You can also use these buttons without first pressing
[LIST] to use a User Program of the last page you
selected. If you only press a numeric button, the page
shown above does not appear.
—or—
Press the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and enter the number
using the on-screen numeric pad.
Each User Program also has a fixed number (right
edge of its field) that allows you to select it directly.
Sometimes, an asterisk (*) is displayed. This happens
when you change a parameter setting after recalling
a User Program to alert you to the fact that the cur-
rent settings no longer correspond to the ones you
recalled. If you like them better than the original set-
tings, you must save them again. See page 125.
Note: By pressing the numeric button of the memory with the
asterisk once again, you restore the original settings of that
memory (thus cancelling any changes you have made).
Selecting User Programs with
[DOWN][UP]
The following method is especially useful if you pro-
grammed two or more User Programs for a song, or if
the User Program sequence corresponds exactly to the
song sequence you are about to play (i.e. settings of the
first song or song part in memory [1] on page “1”, set-
tings of the second song or song part in [2] on page “1”,
etc.).
With [DOWN] or [UP], you always select the preceding
or next User Program.
[UP] Selects the following User Program (for example
[8]/P1 if you selected [7]/P1 before pressing this but-
ton).
[DOWN] Selects the preceding User Program (for
example [6]/P1 if you selected [7]/P1 before pressing
this button).
Note: If you press [UP] after selecting [8]/P18, the E-80 will call
up [1]/P1. Likewise, if you press [DOWN] after selecting [1]/P1,
your E-80 will select [8]/P18, and so on.
Note: User Programs can also be selected using an optional
footswitch connected to the FOOT SWITCH socket on the rear
panel. See “User Program Up, User Program Down” on p. 76.
Working with the User Program Finder
Your E-80 also allows you to load any User Program
from the internal memory or a memory card, which is
as fast as working with a User Program Set List. As
stated above, any registration you “write” is saved as a
separate User Program file in the memory area that
contains the currently active Set List.
There may be times when somebody from the audience
asks you to play a given song, for which you did prepare
a User Program – but maybe in a completely different
Set List. Rather than loading another list, you can sim-
ply use the Finder to load just that specific User Pro-
gram.
If necessary, a User Program loaded with the Finder can
be assigned to the currently active Set List using WRITE.
The Finder can therefore also be used for creating “best
of” compilations from various User Program Set Lists.
