CHANGING THE TRACK STATUS

The keyboard tracks ( Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower

=Tracks 8, 7, 6 respectively) of a Preset can be set to either active or mute status.

An active track can play, while a muted one can- not. It is possible to toggle between the active and mute status in order to instantly add or re- move a Sound while playing.

For the keyboard tracks, it is possible to toggle between the active and mute status by interven- ing directly on the keyboard activators (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower buttons).

To change the status of the keyboard tracks

•Press UPPER 1 to activate/mute the Upper 1 section and press again to return to the previous status.

The same applies for the Upper 2 and Lower buttons.

▶Reminder: When FULL MODE is selected, LOWER is disabled. In SPLIT MODE, LOWER is enabled.

The modified status of the tracks can be memo- rized to a Programmable Preset by pressing STORE PRESET. See page 19 for information regarding storing Style Presets.
