(2) Press the [CUSTOM] field.
(3) Press the field of the Music Style you want to use.
In some cases, an error message (“File not found”)
displayed at this point means that the card does not
contain the referenced file.
Note: If you do not want to use the Style after all, press [EXIT].
In that case, the E-80 keeps on using the last Style it did find.
Disk User
You can also load one Music Style directly into the
E-80’s Disk User memory and use it. You could take
advantage of this function whenever none of the CUS-
TOM memories refer to the Music Style you need for
playing a given piece. As its name implies, you can also
use this function for working with Styles on floppy disk.
Note: The Music Style in this memory is only available until you
switch off the E-80 or load another Style. Be aware that selecting
a CUSTOM memory also overwrites the last Disk User Style you
selected.
(1) If necessary, insert the memory card or floppy disk
with the desired Music Style into the slot or disk
drive.
(2) On the STYLE page (see above), press the
[DISK¥USER] field.
The display changes to:
(3) Press the [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY], [FLOPPY] or
[INTERNAL¥MEMORY] field to select the memory
area that contains the desired Style.
Note: It is perfectly possible to use “older” Styles with the
E-80. They are automatically converted to the new VARIATION
[1]~[4] system.
(4) Press the field that contains the name of the Style
you want to load.
(5) If the desired Style is not displayed, use [ø][˚] to
select another group of 5 Styles.
You can also use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and the
[DEC]/[INC] buttons for selecting other pages with dif-
ferent Music Styles.
Note: The E-80 contains a powerful search engine for quickly
locating the desired Music Style on a card or in the internal
memory (page 95). It is not available for Styles on floppy disk,
however.
The display page does not change when you select a
Style. This was done to allow you… to load another
Style.
(6) Start playing with the newly selected Style.
The selection of the DISK USER Style will be written
to a User Program (page 125). The User Program in
question refers to the name and memory area. Next
time you recall such a User Program, the E-80 will
therefore use the referenced Style.
If the Style in question cannot be found, an error
message appears and the E-80 goes on using the pre-
viously selected Style.
(7) Press the [EXIT] button to return the main page.
The name of the selected Style appears in the [STYLE]
field.
