Performance Category Search, Arpeggio Category Search, Waveform Category Search
The Favorite function has been added, giving you quick access to the sounds and Arpeggios you want has been added. This section explains an example of the Favorite function for Performance Category Search.
NOTE You can filter the Performance List by Favorite in the Part Category Search and in the Performance Merge, but you cannot turn the Favorite icon on/off from the search displays.
[PERFORMANCE] [CATEGORY] (Performance Category Search)
Operation or
Touch the Performance Name Select [Search] from the displayed menu
Performance Bank Select/Favorite Favorite icon

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.
