Selecting the program bank

In Program mode, you can switch banks to select pro-

5 Press a PROG BANK [INT-A]–[EXB-G] key to select a

The LED will light, and the selected bank will be dis-
played in the left of the LCD screen. For example to

[INT-B] key’s LED will light, and the upper left of the

INT-A...INT-D

With the factory settings, these banks contain a wide
variety of preloaded programs that use the internal
PCM ROM multisamples, effects, and arpeggio pat-
terns.

INT-E

This bank is used to store programs that you created,
for example from samples that you created.

INT-F

This can be selected only if the EXB-MOSS option is
installed. If the option is not installed, INT-F cannot be
selected.

G, g(1)...g(9), g(d)

These banks contain 128 capital programs, 128 varia-
tion programs, and 9 drum programs, all compatible

INT-A–INT-E, EXB-A–EXB-G (for a total of 1,536).
