Program: Page Menu Commands
ENTER + 0-9: shortcuts for menu 
commands
Each page has a set of menu commands, which 
provide access to different utilities, commands, and 
options, depending on the page you’re currently on. 
You can use the menu commands entirely from the 
touch-screen, by pressing the menu button in the 
upper right-hand corner of the screen and then 
selecting an option from the menu that appears.
Even though each page may have its own unique 
menu commands, the menus are standardized as much 
as possible. For instance, WRITE is almost always the 
first menu item in Program, Combination, and 
Sequence modes.
You can take advantage of this standardization by 
using a shortcut to access any of the first ten menu 
items:
1. Hold down the ENTER key.
2. Press a number (0-9) on the numeric keypad to 
select the desired menu command, starting with 0.
For instance, press 0 for the first menu command, 1 for 
the second, and so on.
If the menu command just toggles an option on and off 
(such as Exclusive Solo), then you’re done. If the 
command calls up a dialog box, the dialog will appear 
on the LCD, and you can proceed just as if you’d 
selected the command from the touch-screen.
Write Program
This command writes an edited Program into the 
OASYS internal memory. It is available on every page 
in Program mode. 
Write Program lets you:
• Save your edits
• Rename the Program
• Assign the Program to a Category
• Mark the Program as a Favorite
• Copy the Program to a different Bank and number
Be sure to Write any Program that you wish to keep. 
An edited Program cannot be recovered if you do 
not write it before turning off the power or selecting 
another Program.
1. Select “Write Program” to open the dialog box.
The upper line of the dialog shows the Bank, number, 
and Program name.
If you wish to modify the program name, press the text 
edit button to move to the text edit dialog box, and 
enter the desired program name.
2. In Category and Sub Category, specify the 
category of the program that you are writing.
The category can be used to find this Program when 
selecting a program in Program, Combination, or 
Sequencer modes.
Note: You can edit these category names in the Global 
Program Category page. For more information, see “3–
1: Program Category” on page 662.
3. Press “To Program” to specify the destination 
Bank and number.
You can also use the BANK INT A–USER G switches to 
select a bank.
Important: HD-1 Programs can only be written to 
HD-1 Banks, and EXi Programs can only be written 
to EXi Banks. For more information on the default 
Bank types, and on how to change them, please see 
“Program Bank Contents” on page 3, and 
“Changing the Bank Type for USER-A…G” on 
page 3.
4. To Write the Program, press the OK button. To 
cancel, press the Cancel button.
Saving edits to GM Programs
You can edit GM Programs, but you must then save 
them to a Bank other than INT-G; the GM Programs 
themselves cannot be over-written.
Shortcut: SEQUENCER REC/WRITE
You can also use the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE 
button to quickly update the current Program, using 
the existing name, bank, number, and category. To do 
so:
1. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE button.
The Update Program dialog will appear.
2. Press OK to write the program.
Exclusive Solo
This command is available on every page in Program 
mode.
The menu’s Exclusive Solo parameter affects the way 
that Solo works. When Exclusive Solo is Off 
(unchecked), you can solo multiple Tracks and inputs 
at once.
When Exclusive Solo is On (checked), only one MIDI 
Track, HDR Track, or Audio Input can be soloed at a 
time. In this mode, pressing a Solo switch 
automatically disables any previous solos.
On most pages, you can also toggle Exclusive Solo by 
holding ENTER and pressing 1 on the numeric 
keypad.
