● CATEGORY [ ] and [ ]
buttons
When selecting a song, style, or voice,
you can use these buttons to jump to the
first item in the next or previous cate-
gory.
The CATEGORY [ ] and [ ] buttons are useful for select-
ing categorized items, as in the example below.
Example: VOICE SELECT Display
In a display in which a category appears, selection is easy if
you first use the CATEGORY [
] and [ ] buttons to select
the category containing the desired item, then use the dial or
[+] and [-] buttons to select the item. This can be particularly
handy when you have to select from a large number of voices.

In most procedures described throughout this owner’s
manual the dial is recommended for selection simply
because it is the easiest and most intuitive selection
method. Please note however, that most items or values
that can be selected using the dial can also be selected
using the [+] and [-] buttons.
