HOW TO SELECT A STYLE
As we said earlier that In the VEGA there are two modes for selecting the style, one is the NUMERIC selection which is enabled by default and
the second is the GROUP mode which Is enabled automatically when the user switch to Occidental In the style set function (LEFT CONTROL menu)
In Numeric mode the selection Is done by pressing the BANK key and selecting the first number that compose each dozen of styles. For exam-
ple If the user wants to select styles located from 20 to 29 he press BANK then number 2, In that way he hold the number 2 so for selecting style
number 20 he only press 0, and for 21 he press 1 etc.. Making the selection very easy for live performance. Same thing is applicable to the rest
of the styles. The styles are divided In two sections, A and B. The styles that are located from 01 to 099 are on A section and the styles that are
located from 100 to 199 are on B section. To switch from section A to section B the user uses the STYLE A/B push button on the right side of
the keyboard.
In Group mode there are ten STYLES push buttons to the left of the display, each of which indicates a musical genre. For each of these Ketron
has foreseen up to a maximum of 30 Styles. The individual Style is called up using the relative function key (F1-F10), situated at the side of the
display which when pressed, immediately calls up the Style for the Arranger.
The VEGA stores the Styles of each kind of music in groups of ten and the number of the next groups is indicated as Pages. To call up the other
groups of Styles that are not currently displayed, simply press the STYLES push button again, to which the groups belong or use the PAGE +/-
push buttons. The display will show the Styles that follow, which can be selected again using the relative push buttons at the side of the dis-
play (F1-F10).
