Combination: Menu Command

ENTER + 0–9: shortcuts for menu com-
mands

Each page has a set of menu commands, which provide
access to different utilities, commands, and options,
depending on the page you’re currently on. You can use the
menu commands entirely from the touch-screen, by pressing
the menu button in the upper right-hand corner of the
screen and then selecting an option from the menu that
appears.

Even though each page may have its own unique menu
commands, the menus are standardized as much as
possible. For instance, WRITE is almost always the first
menu item in Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes.

You can take advantage of this standardization by using a
shortcut to access any of the first ten menu items:

1. Hold down the ENTER switch.

2. Press a number (0–9) on the numeric keypad to select

the desired menu command, starting with 0.

For instance, press 0 for the first menu command, 1 for the
second, and so on.

If the menu command just toggles an option on and off
(such as Exclusive Solo), then you’re done. If the command
calls up a dialog box, the dialog will appear on the display,
and you can proceed just as if you’d selected the command
from the touch-screen.

Tip:

While this command is open, the ENTER switch will

operate as the OK button and the EXIT switch will operate
as the Cancel button.

Procedure for menu commands

1. Select the menu command.

2. Make settings in the dialog box.

For details on the content of each dialog box, refer to the
explanation of each command.

3. To execute, press the OK button. To cancel without exe-

cuting, press the Cancel button.

Write Combination

This command writes an edited Combination into the M50
internal memory. It is available on every page in
Combination mode.

This lets you:

• Save your edits

• Rename the Combination

• Assign the Combination to a Category

• Mark the Combination as a Favorite

• Copy the Combination to a different Bank and number

Be sure to

Write

any Combination that you wish to keep. If

you turn off the power, or select another Combination
before writing an edited Combination, it cannot be
recovered.

If you use

Category

, or

Sub Category

to specify a category

for the combination you are writing, you will be able to
select that combination by its category or sub category in
Combi P0: Play.

The names of the combination categories can be edited in
P4: Category– Combination Main and Combination Sub
page.

Note:

You can also use the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE

switch to write a combination in the same way as

Write

Combination

. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch

to open the dialog box, and write the combination. In this
case, the data will be written to the currently selected
combination. While the dialog box is shown, the ENTER
switch will operate as the OK button, and the EXIT switch
will operate as the Cancel button.

Exclusive Solo

This command is available on every page in Combination
mode. When

Exclusive Solo

, only one Timbre is

soloed at a time; when it is

Off

, multiple Timbres can be

soloed together.

For more information, please see “Exclusive Solo” on
page 73.

Copy from Program

This command is available on every page in Combination
mode. It copies Effects settings from a selected Program to
the current Combination. This lets the Program sound the
same as it did in Program mode.

1. Use Program to select the copy-source program.

2. Select the IFXs used, MFXs, and TFX options to specify

which, if any, of the Program’s effects settings to copy.

IFXs:

The settings of all insert effect settings (the contents of

the Insert FX setup page and the IFX1–5 effect parameters)
of the copy-source program will be copied.

MFXs:

All master effect settings of the copy-source program

will be copied.
