When you release the VOLUME knob, the display shows the patch number 008 of the category group PIANO.

The patches you can choose by category are Preset A, B, C, D, and E, and Session (XP-A) patches. The sounds and categories of User and WAVE-EXP (XP-B) patches vary, so you can’t choose these patches by category.

Turning the VALUE knob rapidly makes the value change in large increments. Also, turning the VALUE knob while pressing it in jumps you to the value at the start of each category, in the currently selected category group. The start values for by-category patches are shown with a dot at the end of the number on the display.
