Program P0: Play
This is the main page of Program mode for HD-1 
Programs. Among other things, you can:
• Select Programs
• Jump directly to the main editing pages
• Make basic edits to KARMA
• Set up the audio inputs and resampling options
• Use the control surface
Auto Song Setup
The Auto Song Setup feature copies the current 
Program or Combination into a Song, and then puts 
the OASYS in record-ready mode.
If inspiration for a phrase or song strikes you while 
you’re playing, you can use this function to start 
recording immediately. To do so:
1. Hold down the ENTER key and press the 
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE key. 
The Setup to Record dialog box will open and ask “Are 
you sure?”
2. Press OK.
You will automatically enter Sequencer mode, and will 
be in the record-ready state.
3. Press the START/STOP key to start the sequencer 
and begin recording. 
0–1: Main
This is the main page for selecting Programs, which are 
the basic sounds of the OASYS. It also includes an 
interactive overview of the most important Program 
parameters - just touch a parameter, and you’ll jump to 
the corresponding edit page.
Tip: Wherever you are in the Program mode pages, 
pressing EXIT three times (or fewer) will take you back 
to this page, and select the Program name. You can 
then immediately use the numeric keys or  /  
switches to select a different Program.
For instance, if you’re on any page other than P0: Play:
• Press it once to go to the previously-selected tab on 
the main P0 page, such as Control Surface or Audio 
In/Sampling.
• Press it again to go to the first tab on the main P0 
page–the main Program Play page. If you had 
previously selected a parameter on this page, that 
parameter will be selected.
• Press it a third time to select the main Program 
name parameter.
