The large number of memories available in the
VX-8GR/GE
could be difficult to utilize
without some means of organizing them. Fortunately, the
VX-8GR/GE
includes provi-
sion for dividing the memories into as many as 24 Memory Banks, so you can categorize
the memories in a manner convenient to you. You may enter and exit the “Memory Bank”
mode by a single press of the
B
key, as we shall see below.
