Selecting by Category
You can select Combinations from within a category,
such as keyboard, organ, bass, and drums. When
shipped from the factory, the preloaded Combinations
are organized into 16 categories, each with several sub-
categories. There are also 2 more categories, initially
named User 16 and User 17, which you can use and
rename as desired.

The Category/Combination Select dialog appears.

Selecting Combinations using a footswitch
You can assign a footswitch to step through
Combinations one by one, either going up (0, 1, 2, 3,
etc.) or going down (3, 2, 1 etc.). This lets you change
Combinations without using your hands–great for
quick Program changes in live performance situations.
For more information, see “Using a footswitch to select
Programs” on page 45.
Selecting Combinations from MIDI
You can send MIDI Program Change messages to
OASYS from external MIDI devices, such as computer
sequencers or other MIDI controllers. In conjunction
with MIDI Bank Select, you can use these to select any
Combination from all 14 Banks.
For more information, see “Selecting combinations,”
on page 1003 of the Parameter Guide.
Using controllers to modify the sound
You can use the joystick, ribbon controller, SW1, SW2,
Vector Joystick, VALUE slider, keyboard, foot pedals
and switches, and the Control Panel knobs, sliders, and
switches to control the sound.
For more information, see the corresponding
explanation for Programs: “Using Controllers” on
page 45.
