Operation or

Touch the Performance Name Select [Search] from the displayed menu

Performance Bank Select/Favorite Favorite icon

Favorite Set/Unset Favorite All Clear

Favorite Set / Unset

Enters (Sets) or cancels (Unsets) the Favorite icon to the currently selected Performance. This is not available when the cursor is not on the Performance List.

NOTE You can also set/unset the Favorite icon from the menu which is displayed by touching the Performance name on the Performance Play (Home) display.

Favorite All Clear

Clears all Favorite icons on Performances. This is available only when at least one Performance has a Favorite icon.

Bank/Favorite (Performance Bank Select/Favorite)

Filters the Performance List by Bank or Favorite. When Favorite is selected, only Performances having a Favorite icon are listed.

Settings: All, Favorite, Preset, User, Library Name (when the Library file is read)

NOTE When the Category Search display is selected, pressing the [CATEGORY] button repeatedly switches Banks among All, Favorite, Preset, User, Library (when the Library file is read). Holding down the [CATEGORY] button lets you go back to All.
