3.3 The Master page

Whenever you leave the DEMO or EASY ROUTING mode by pressing [EXIT] or [FINISH], the display looks more or less as follows:

AD

B

CE

APress this field if you want to select another Music Style (see page 59).

BPress this field if you want to select other Tones (sounds) (see page 37).

CPress this field if you want to select a User Program (see page 128).

DThe metronome field allows you to switch the metro- nome on/off.

EPress this field to call up the Mixer functions (see page 112).

Let us agree to call this the Master page. There are, in fact, two Master pages: one for Arranger playback, and another for the Song Composer. The difference between these two will be explained later on in this manual.

Note: If you switched off the automatic jump to the Virtual Band mode (see page 195), the Master page appears imme- diately after switching on the VA-76.

The number of items displayed on the Master page varies. Here is what it can look like in some situations:

That way, you know exactly which functions are cur- rently active.

Which button does what? (Panel Info)

There may be situations where you don’t remember exactly what you need to do in order to select a given function. The VA-76 provides a display page where you can check the (usually) “second” function of cer- tain buttons. Note that not all button functions are explained on that page, so you still need to read the rest of this manual…

Here is how to select the Panel Info function:

1.Press the [FUNCTION MENU] button.

The display now looks as follows:

2.Press the [(i) Panel Info] field.

This page provides an overview of the display pages or functions that can be selected by holding down a given button, by pressing it when it lights, by pressing it twice in succession, or when pressed in combination with other buttons. Try to remember that it exists, and how to select it, because it may come in handy.

3.Press [EXIT] to return to the Master page.

You can also press [oBACK] to return to the Func- tion Menu, if you like, but that is not what we need here.
