PC4 SE Sounds

The PC4 SE contains Programs and Multis. A Program is typically a single instrument 

sound such as a Piano, Organ, or Synth. Programs are organized by instrument type in 10 

categories.
A Multi is a combination of Programs arranged as layers and/or splits across the keyboard. 

Multis are not categorized by instrument type, so the KEYPAD button is always on when in 

Multi Mode.
