Using the Hold Button and/or Interval Button

Note: You can use just the Hold Button, just the Interval Button, or both buttons to select Programs. In other words, these two buttons' functions can be independent of each other.

1.Make sure you are in the desired bank (Preset or User). If not, press the Bank Button to select it.

2.Make sure you have set the Hold Button to UP (described in Assigning Controls > Hold Button) and/or the Interval Button to dn (described in Assigning Controls > Interval Button).

3.Press the Hold Button to move to the next-highest Program, and/or press the Interval Button to move the next-lowest Program. You can also press and hold it to move quickly through the available Programs.

Using the Note Keys

You can assign Program numbers to specific note keys, allowing you to select Programs more quickly than scrolling through them with the Hold Button or Interval Button. You must assign a Program to a note key first, though.

To assign a Program to a note key:

1.Make sure your PC (Program Change) setting has dP (Direct Program) enabled. See In an External MIDI Sound Module or Software to learn how to do this.

2.Select the Program number you want to assign (using any of the methods described in this chapter, Selecting Programs).

3.Touch the Program Button, and press the Setup Button. The Program number will flash in the display.

4.Touch the desired note key and blow into the mouthpiece. The Program is now assigned to the note key you were touching. (If you touch more than one note key during this step, the Program will be assigned to the top-most note key you are touching.)

Note: While touching the Program Button, no sound will play if you blow into the mouthpiece.

To select a Program using the note keys:

1.Make sure your PC (Program Change) setting has dP (Direct Program) enabled. See In an External MIDI Sound Module or Software to learn how to do this.

2.Make sure you are in the desired bank (Preset or User). If not, press the Bank Button to select it.

3.Without touching any note keys, touch the Program Button (the screw just above the Pitch-Bend Up Plate). The current Program will appear in the display.

4.While still touching the Program Button, touch the note key assigned to the desired Program. (If you touch more than one note key during this step, the Program that is selected will be the one assigned to the top-most note key you are touching.)

5.After the assigned Program number appears in the display, blow into the mouthpiece. The Program is now selected.

6.Release the Program Button.

Note: While touching the Program Button, no sound will play if you blow into the mouthpiece.
