Favorites function
What is the Favorites function?
This function lets you register your favorite combinations or
programs using the 16 front panel buttons so that you can
recall them instantly.
You can register not only sounds but also audio recorder
songs, and recall them along with your sounds for immediate
playback.
You can also register MIDI program changes to a favorite, as
a way to easily recall sounds on an external MIDI device.
Using the Favorites function
Recalling a favorite sound
1. Press the FAVORITES button to turn on the Favorites
function. (FAVORITES button lit up)
2. Press the BANK button to select a bank. (BANK LED
lit up)
3. Press one of the 1–16 buttons to select a favorite. The
sound or settings you registered will be recalled.
(Button lit up)
Note: You can use the value dial or the cursor buttons
◄►▲▼ to recall favorites consecutively.
Note: You can use a foot switch or MIDI foot controller to
recall favorites. (see page 20, and page 291 of the Parameter
Guide)
Registering a sound in Favorites
There are two ways to register a sound as a favorite.
• Directly register a sound as a favorite
• Modify an existing favorite registration
The two procedures are described below.
If you want to keep the registrations and settings that
you made for the Favorites function, you must save
them before you turn off the power. To save these
settings, execute the Write Favorites function. (see
“Saving your Favorites” on page 50)
Directly registering a favorite sound
Here’s how the sound that you’ve selected in Program mode
or Combination mode can be directly registered as a favorite.
1. In Program mode or Combination mode, select a
sound. (see pages 23, 41)
2. Hold down the EXIT button and press the
FAVORITES button to enter registration mode. The
bank LED and buttons 1–16 will blink.
Note: If you decide not to register the sound, press the
EXIT button.
3. Use the BANK button to select a bank.
4. Press one of the 1–16 buttons to register the sound to
that button.
Add to Favorite function
You can also register a favorite by executing the Add to
Favorite function in Program mode or Combination mode.
Instead of step 2 described above, press the FUNCTION
button to access the function list, use the ▲ (PAGE–) ▼
(PAGE+) buttons to select Add to Favorite, and press the OK
(MENU) button to execute. Use steps 3 and 4 described
above to register the favorite.
Modifying an existing favorite registration
In this method, you specify the favorite (number), and
change the currently-registered sound to a different sound.
This method is convenient if you already know the sounds
you want and the order that you want to register them (for
example piano in A01 and organ in A02), so that you can
step through the favorites and change them consecutively.
1. Select a favorite whose sound you want to change.
(See “Recalling a favorite sound”)
2. Press the ENTER button to access the EDIT
FAVORITE dialog box. The bank LED and the 1–16
button you’ve selected will start blinking.
Note: If you decide not to make the change, press the
EXIT button.
3. Select a sound. In the same way as usual when
selecting a sound, use the CATEGORY dial, the
SELECT dial, and the value dial to select a sound.
