Hi all
Another newbie to Stage 3 ques - sorry. Programs and banks are confusing me (as is the whole Program section tbh). Is there a difference between a program and a bank? On the display you get eg B:14 - this is a bank right? And the program buttons are below. How are these to be used? For example in a song set, would I assign different sounds/layers etc and put them in the program buttons under the display. So sorry if this is a stupid question - hope someone can explain to a thickie like me. How do other people use them etc?
Thanks for help Pete
Hi and welcome. Your profile doesn’t indicate your home country, but in the USA manual (v1.4), info on the Program buttons and options can be found on Page 30.
a bank holds a number of programs, which is organized in 5 groups per bank. B:14 means you have selected program number 4 from group 1 in Bank B. The program buttons provide direct access to the five programs of the active group in the selected bank.
This is somewhat similar in Song mode. A song contains 5 parts (in fact 5 programs) which can be selected with the programs buttons when you are in Song mode
