And yes, a lengthy ‘hold’ of a LOT of different front panel buttons can either ‘lock’ them or bring up an edit screen. Go through the lot of them to see what happens…! (You will see a small lock symbol on screen if they lock or unlock)

Learning these can go a long way to allowing you some degree of old school control without abandoning the Performance system or using hard to get to Arranger Holds. A lengthy press of the tempo button locks the tempo, another unlocks it.

You might also try repeated short presses of the Tone buttons, which will take you quickly to each subsection of each category (but not select them). This is a good way to quickly get to say all the alto saxes, or all the baritones, or all the trumpets when looking for a certain sound.

And don’t forget to use the Favorite Tones feature to quickly collect your favorite ten lead sounds, comps etc.. You can have a different set for each Keyboard Part, so this is a great way to have your solo sound favorites on UPR1, your comping or secondary leads on UPR2, your LH pads or comps on LWR and your favorite basses on MBS…

Time to get deep into the manuals, guys… 🎹📚💻🖥
