Style Finder: quickly locating Styles
The E-80 allows you to have a great many Music Styles
handy: in its internal memory, on a memory card and
on floppy disks. For the internal memory and the mem-
ory card in the PCMCIA slot, there is a powerful Finder
function for quickly locating the Style you need. Here is
how to use this function:
(1) Press the FINDER [STYLE] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Specify the memory area that contains the Style
you need: [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY], [FLOPPY] or
[INTERNAL¥MEMORY].
The E-80 is shipped with several Styles that reside in
its internal memory.
The display shows a list of 5 Styles in the selected
memory area (internal, memory card or floppy disk).
(3) If the name of the Style you want to use to is
already displayed, press its line.
In our example, “%Shuffle” has been selected.
(4) To display the next 5 Styles, press the PAGE [˚] field
in the lower right corner.
You can press this field as many times as necessary
(or until it is no longer displayed).
To return to a previous group of 5 Styles, press [ø].
You can also select the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and the
[DEC]/[INC] buttons to switch pages.

Quick location of the Style you need

There are several ways of quickly locating the Style you
are after:
■Sorting files
Press the [COUNTRY], [GENRE] or [TEMPO] field to
sort the Music Style files according to country, kind
of music (Genre) or tempo value. The right column
now contains the selected entry (only one of them
can be displayed along with the Style name).
Continue with step (3) to select the Style you want to
use.
If you pressed the [FLOPPY] field, these options are
not available and the display looks as follows:
■Using the Index function
The highest hierarchical level of the Style Finder
database is called “Index”. All search operations apply
to the selected Index (and therefore not necessarily
to all files in the internal memory or on a memory
card).
• After performing step (2), press the [INDEX] field in
the upper left corner.
• Either press the field that corresponds to the desired
Style category or –if you’re not sure which category
the Style belongs to– press [ALL].
• Now return to the previous page by pressing [BACK].
The display returns to the page shown under step (1)
above. This time, however, only the Styles belonging
to the selected Index are displayed.
Continue with step (3) to select the Style you want to
use.
STYLE
“FOUND”: found entries.
“GLOBAL”: total number of Styles in that memory area.
The information in these columns are supplied by a
special file in the internal memory or on a memory
card called “Database”.
You can also supply the above information for your
own Styles.
Note: Music Styles you load from floppy disk and then save
to a card or the internal memory are not automatically
modified to include this Database information. You need to
program it yourself. See “Rename” on page 97.
