You will enter Program mode. Make sure that the 
upper line of the LCD screen indicates “PROG 1.1: 
Play.”

You can use the following methods to select a pro-

• Use numeric keys [0]–[9] to specify the number, 

and press the [ENTER] key.

Play a note on the keyboard to hear the sound you 
selected.

Alternatively, you can press the [AUDITION] key 
(the key will light) to turn on the Audition function 
and the TR will automatically play a riff (phrase) 
suitable for the selected program.

With the factory settings, the Audition function 
can be used only on the preloaded programs of 
banks A–D, and the preset programs G, g(d).

In Program mode, you can switch banks to select pro-
grams from another bank.

The key will light, and the selected bank will be dis-
played in the left of the LCD screen. For example to 
select bank B, press the BANK [B] key. (The [B] key 
will light, and the upper left of the LCD screen will 
indicate Bank B.)

With the factory settings, these banks contain 
a wide variety of preloaded programs that 
use the internal PCM ROM multisamples, 
effects, and arpeggio patterns.

128 programs can be written or rewritten to each bank 
A–D

 (for a total of 512).

These banks contain 128 GM programs and 9 
GM drum programs that are compatible 
with the GM sound map. The programs of 
these banks are read-only. Bank G contains 
the GM programs. G lets you select 128 pro-
grams numbered from 001–128, and g(d) lets 
you select nine drum programs (
