The display has eight main sections:
MIDI monitor and selection strip. Selects different MIDI
channels for the programs in Mix Play Mode (a thick underline indicates

the keyboard or MIDI In), and chooses the basic MIDI channel in
Program Play Mode.
Current Mix, Program and Effect strip. Shows the currently
selected Mix and/or Program and its associated Effect.
Editing Status. Indicates what you are editing (either Mix Edit,
Program Edit, or Effects Edit), after pressing [SELECT]. “1 2 3 4”
indicates which Sound (1–4) is selected for editing when in Program Edit
mode; or, which effect send (1–4) is selected for editing when in Effects
Edit mode. Press [EDIT 1] to cycle through the four Sounds/sends.
When Edit 4 mode is selected (press [EDIT 4]), all four numbers appear,
to indicate that all four Sounds are available for simultaneous editing
(Edit 4 mode is available in Program Edit mode only).

in a particular editing mode. Use the FUNCTION [] and [] buttons to
select a function, as indicated by the small line (cursor) underneath one
