THE PUSH BUTTONS AND THE CHOICE OF THE STYLES
Twelve push buttons are used to call up just as many groups of styles directly from the control panel. When a group is selected the display shows
five styles to the left and another five to the right. To enable a style simply press the function push button next to its name on the display.
Considering that the DG100 offers more than ten styles per group, the user can move onto the next pages either using the PAGE + and PAGE –
push buttons or by pressing the push button related to the group of styles in use again. When the DG100 reaches the last page of styles avail-
able, the user can return to the first page by pressing the push button for that same group of styles again and not the PAGE + and PAGE – push
buttons. In some editing situations the twelve STYLES push buttons become numeric keys that are used to enter the value directly.
THE PUSH BUTTONS AND THE CHOICE OF THE VOICES
The two rows of eight push buttons called VOICES are used to call up timbres or Preset Voices (that cannot be edited by the user) according to
the family to which they belong. When a family is selected with one push button the display shows five Voices to the left and five Voices to the
right, which can be enabled by pressing the function push button next to that timbre. Considering that the DG100 offers more than ten Voices
per family, the user can move onto the next pages either using the PAGE + and PAGE – push buttons or by pressing the push button of that
family of Voices in use again. When the DG100 reaches the last page of Voices available, the user can return to the first page of Voices by press-
ing the same push button for that family of Voices again and not the PAGE + and PAGE - push buttons.
The VOICES push buttons are not only used to call up the pre-set voices alone.

If the LED of the DRAWBAR push button is lit, an organ timbre corresponds to each single VOICES push button.
