VA-76 – Selecting User Programs

The name of the selected User Program is displayed on the Master page:

The asterisk (*) only appears when you change a parameter setting after loading a User Program. This is to alert you to the fact that the current settings no longer correspond to the ones you recalled. If you like them better than the original settings, you must write them again. See page 127.

Note: You do not need to load all User Program settings. See “Selectively loading User Program settings (User Program Cancel Options)”.

Selecting User Programs using the [DOWN][UP] buttons

The following method is especially useful if you pro- grammed two or more User Programs for a song or if the User Program sequence corresponds exactly to the song sequence you are about to play (i.e. settings of the first song or song part in memory A11, settings of the second song or song part in A12, etc.). Pressing [DOWN] or [UP] immediately selects the following or preceding User Program.

[UP]— Selects the following User Program (for exam- ple A13 if you selected A12 before pressing this but- ton).

[DOWN]— Selects the preceding User Program (for example A11 if you selected A12 before pressing this button).

Note: If you press [UP] after selecting A88, your VA-76 will call up B11. Likewise, if you press [DOWN] after selecting B11, your VA-76 will call up A88, and so on.

User Programs can also be selected using the foot- switch connected to the FOOT SWITCH socket on the rear panel. See “UsrPrg Up” and “UsrPrgDown” on page 191 for details.

Selectively loading User Program settings (User Program Cancel Options)

The VA-76 is equipped with several options that allow you to keep certain settings of the previous User Pro- gram while selecting another User Program. You could use this to quickly assign other Tones to the Keyboard and/or Arranger parts without loading the Style parameters contained in the new User Program, for example.

Let’s have a look at the possibilities. The desired Can- cel Option can be set via the display:

1.Press the [USER PROGRAM] button or the [Usr Prg] field in the display.

2.If you need a different User Program, select it, oth- erwise…

3.…press the [Cancel Options] field.

The display now looks more or less as follows:

4.Press the field that corresponds to the settings you do not want to recall.

To ignore the Tone selection data of a new User Pro- gram, press the [Tone] field so that it is displayed in white.

Style & Song— Press this field if the settings related to the Arranger (Style and Division) or the Song (see “Linking a Song to a User Program” on page 130) should no longer be loaded.

Tones— Press this field to ignore Tone selection for the Keyboard parts when a different User Program is recalled.

KBD Mode— Press this field to ignore the Keyboard Mode (Whole/Split) and Arranger Chord settings (Standard/Piano Style, Left/Right, etc.).

Transpose— Press this field to ignore the Transpose (value and mode) contained in every User Program.
