● CATEGORY Buttons [ ], [ ]
When selecting a song, style, or
voice, you can use these buttons to
jump to the first item in the next or
previous category.
The CATEGORY buttons are useful
for selecting categorized items, as in
the example below.
Example: VOICE SELECT Display
In a display in which a category appears, selection is easy if
you first use the CATEGORY [ ] and [ ] buttons to select
the category containing the desired item, then use the dial or
[+] and [-] buttons to select the item. This can be particularly
handy when you have to select from a large number of voices.

In most procedures described throughout this owner’s manual
the dial is recommended for selection simply because it is the
easiest and most intuitive selection method. Please note how-
ever, that most items or values that can be selected using the
dial can also be selected using the [+] and [-] buttons.
