Using the Category Search function
This synthesizer features a powerful Category Search function
that gives you quick access to the sounds you want,
irrespective of their bank locations. Simply select a Voice
category, such as A. PIANO or SYN LEAD, and you can
browse through all related Voices one by one – and audition
each of them, too. If you’ve installed a Plug-in Board to the
instrument, those Voices are automatically included in the
search as well. Plus, you can use the special Favorites
category to store the Voices you use most.
In this condition with the button lit, you can use the BANK and
GROUP buttons to specify the Category.
Press the [CATEGORY SEARCH] button again to turn this
function off.
Press one of the BANK and GROUP buttons to call up the
selected Category name and the Voice list. The first Voice in
the Category is selected.
All Categories are divided into two or three Sub Categories for
further ease in selection. The Sub Category names are
displayed at the bottom of the Category Search display. Press
the [F1] - [F3] buttons to select the first Voice in the
corresponding Sub Category.
n An alternate way of selecting categories is to use the Cursor buttons to
select and highlight the Category name in the display, then use the
[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons or the data dial to select the
Category. Then, move the cursor to the Voice list at the right of the
display to select the Voice (see step #3 below).
n Some Voices such as User Voices may not be registered to any
Category. You can search for these Voices by setting the Category to
“--------------.”
Step through the available Voices by using the data dial. You
can also use the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons, or use the
Cursor [ ]/[ ] buttons.
n You can also use the [ENTER] button or [EXIT] button to exit from the
Category function.
