Note: Use the Copy function (see p. 97) to copy all Styles to the
same card (or the internal memory).
(1) Press a button of the STYLE pad to select a Music
Style family.
Its indicator lights and the display looks as follows:
(2) Press the [CUSTOM] field.
(3) Press the field of the memory you wish to assign a
Style to.
(4) Press the [EDIT¥CUSTOM] field.
(5) Press the [INTERNAL¥MEMORY] or
[EXTERNAL¥MEMORY] field.
This is necessary to specify whether you want to link
a Style in the internal memory or on a card in the
PCMCIA slot.
(6) Press the field that contains the name of the Style
you want to assign to the selected CUSTOM mem-
ory.
If necessary, use the PAGE [ø][˚] fields or the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial/the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to select
another group of 5 Styles.
Note: If you can’t seem to find the Style you wish to assign
and if you know it exists in the selected memory area, check
the “FOUND” value. It should indicate the same figure as the
“GLOBAL” entry. You can also use the Finder for locating the
desired Style. See p. 95 for details.
Note: It is perfectly possible to use “older” Styles with the
E-80. They are automatically converted to the new VARIATION
[1]~[4] system.
(7) Press the [GET¥IT] field.
The E-80 returns to the “STYLE” page. The name of
the selected Style appears in the field you selected
before pressing the [EDIT¥CUSTOM] button.
You could now program other assignments if you
wanted to.
Note: CUSTOM assignments are stored internally but they are
not part of the User Programs. Thus, you can “only” program
120 links in all (rather than 120 per User Program).
Note: CUSTOM settings reside in a global memory whose con-
tents are saved together with all User Program Set data. Use
“Save User Program Set” on p. 227 for saving the settings.
Selecting CUSTOM Style memories
The Style names are important for locating the Styles.
If you change the name of a Music Style that is refer-
enced by one of the CUSTOM memories, the E-80 no
longer finds it. Conversely, if you have two memory
cards that both contain a Style called “Reggae1”,
even inserting the “wrong” card would recall a
“Reggae1” Style – but it might be the wrong one (and
quite a few other CUSTOM memories might not recall
any Style at all, because the other names only exist
on the “other” card).
(1) Press a button of the STYLE pad to select a Music
Style family.
