HOW TO SELECT A STYLE
There are ten
SSTTYYLLEESS
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 (
FF11
-
FF1100
), situated at the side of the display which
when pressed, immediately calls up the Style for the Arranger.
The XD9 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
SSTTYYLLEESS
push button again to which the groups belong or use the

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 (
