Choosing User Programs manually
The procedure for selecting User Programs does not fol-
low the usual routine for selecting Styles or sounds. So
please carefully read the following.
(1) Press the [USER¥PROGR] field on the main page.
Note: If the currently displayed User Program was loaded with
the User Program Finder, the E-60/E-50 now displays the USER
PROGRAM FINDER page where you can select another regis-
tration in the internal memory or on a card. To work with User
Programs of the currently active Set List, proceed as follows.
Press the USER PROGRAM [LIST] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Use the [P] fields and [˚] to select the page (1~18)
of the required registration.
(3) Press a big field [1]~[8] to select the memory.
—or—
Press the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and enter the number
using the on-screen numeric pad.
Each User Program also has a fixed number (right
edge of its field) that allows you to select it directly.
Sometimes, an asterisk (*) is displayed. This happens
when you change a parameter setting after recalling
a User Program to alert you to the fact that the cur-
rent settings no longer correspond to the ones you
recalled. If you like them better than the original set-
tings, you must save them again. See page 88.
Note: By pressing the field of the memory with the asterisk
once again, you restore the original settings of that memory
(thus cancelling any changes you have made).
Selecting User Programs with [DOWN][UP]
The following method is especially useful if you pro-
grammed two or more User Programs for a song or if
the User Program sequence corresponds exactly to the
song sequence you are about to play (i.e. settings of the
first song or song part in memory [1] on page “1”, set-
tings of the second song or song part in [2] on page “1”,
etc.).
With [DOWN] or [UP], you always select the preceding
or next User Program.
[UP] Selects the following User Program (for example
[8]/P1 if you selected E-60/P1 before pressing this
button).
[DOWN] Selects the preceding User Program (for
example [6]/P1 if you selected E-60/P1 before press-
ing this button).
Note: If you press [UP] after selecting [8]/P18, the E-60/E-50
will call up [1]/P1. Likewise, if you press [DOWN] after selecting
[1]/P1, your E-60/E-50 will select [8]/P18, and so on.
Note: User Programs can also be selected using an optional
footswitch connected to the FOOTSWITCH/EXPRESSION socket
on the rear panel. See “User Prg Up, User Prg Down” on p. 56.
Working with the User Program Finder
Your E-60/E-50 also allows you to load any User Pro-
gram from the internal memory or a memory card,
which is as fast as working with a User Program Set
List. As stated above, any registration you “write” is
saved as a separate User Program file in the memory
area that contains the currently active Set List.
There may be times when somebody from the audience
asks you to play a given song, for which you did prepare
a User Program – but maybe in a completely different
Set List. Rather than loading another list, you can sim-
ply use the Finder to load just that specific User Pro-
gram.
If necessary, a User Program loaded with the Finder can
be assigned to the currently active Set List using WRITE.
The Finder can therefore also be used for creating “best
of” compilations from various User Program Set Lists.
(1) Press the FINDER [USER≈PRG] button.
