About the Function Buttons

Function buttons are buttons that perform a variety of functions. The function they perform will depend on the current mode, and on whether [EDIT] is on (lit) or off (extinguished). [EDIT] will turn on or off each time you press it.

[EDIT] switches the function of the function buttons, but pressing [EDIT] will not make the display change. If you wish to modify a setting, press the [EDIT] to make the indicator light, and then press a function button to select the display group and switch the display. When you finish making settings, press [EXIT] or a mode button to switch the display.

In Performance Mode

([EDIT] Indicator is Extinguished)

The Function buttons work as [ZONE SELECT] buttons that switch each Zone’s Local switch and Transmit switch on (lit) and off (extinguished).

When the [LOCAL/TX] indicator is extinguished, the switch has the linked Part for each Zone play (lit) or not play (extinguished).

When the [LOCAL/TX] indicator is lit, the switch allows the data describing all actions using the keyboard controller section for each Zone to be sent (lit) or prevents it from being sent (extinguished).

Since 16 Zones are being controlled using only 8 buttons, use [1-8/9-16] to select the set of Zones you want to control. When the [1-8/9-16] indicator is out, you can switch Zones

1–8 on/off. When it is lit, you can switch Zones 9–16 on/off. If the [EDIT] indicator is turned off in the Part setting page, the function buttons will act as PART Select buttons ([PART SELECT]) that select the Part to be edited.

In Patch Mode

([EDIT] Indicator is Extinguished)

The function buttons will act as Tone Switch buttons ([TONE SWITCH]) and Tone Select buttons ([TONE SELECT]). [TONE SWITCH] allow you to turn each Tone in the Patch on (lit) or off (extinguished). When a Tone is turned on, it can be heard.

Use [TONE SELECT] to select the Tone you wish to modify. To select a Tone to modify, turn off [EDIT] indicator in the Tone setting page. To select two or more Tones simultaneously, hold down one of [TONE SELECT] and press the other [TONE SELECT]. In this case, the numbers of Tones other than the first-selected Tone will be displayed as * symbols.

In Rhythm Set Mode

([EDIT] Indicator is Extinguished)

The function buttons (TONE SELECT section) will select the key shown in the display.

If the [EDIT] indicator is turned off in the Rhythm Set setting page (the setting page for individual keys), the function buttons will select the key to be edited.

TONE SELECT [1]: move to an octave lower key

TONE SELECT [2]: move to the semitone below

TONE SELECT [3]: move to the semitone above

TONE SELECT [4]: move to an octave higher key

In GM Mode

([EDIT] Indicator is Extinguished)

The Function buttons work as [PART SELECT] buttons that switch the reception of Note messages on (lit) and off (extinguished).

Since 16 Parts are being controlled using only 8 buttons, use [1-8/9-16] to select the set of Parts you want to control. When the [1-8/9-16] indicator is out, you can switch Parts 1–8 on/ off. When it is lit, you can switch Parts 9–16 on/off.

If the [EDIT] indicator is turned off in the Part setting page, the function buttons will act as PART Select buttons ([PART SELECT]) that select the Part to be edited.
