EM-55 Owner’s Manual

ENGLISH ENGLISH
The EM-55 is equipped with 64 User Program memories that allow you to store almost all settings (or regis-
trations) you make on the front panel and via the Function menu (see p. 42).
Note: MIDI settings (see p. 49) are not saved to a User Program because the EM-55 memorizes them automatically.
Writing your settings to a User Program
It is a good idea to write your settings frequently, even if you still need to do some editing afterwards.
Those intermediary saves allow you to return to the previous stage whenever you do not like your last
modifications.
(1) Press and hold the [USER PROGRAM/
WRITE] button.
The EM-55 now displays “Write ?”.
(2) Keep holding the [USER PROGRAM/
WRITE] button while pressing one
numeric button [1]~[8] to select the bank.
The number you select appears in the USER
PROGRAM field (“3” in the example below).
(3) Keep holding the [USER PROGRAM/
WRITE] button while pressing another (or
the same) numeric button [1]~[8] to
select the memory.
The display now responds with the “Com-
plete” message and the memory number
(your settings have been stored).
(4) Release the [USER PROGRAM/WRITE] but-
ton.
Notes about writing User Programs
Leaving the User Program environment
Press [USER PROGRAM] to leave the User
Program environment. The User Program
field in the display will go blank again.
Mode selection
The mode (Arranger, p. 13, M.Drums, p. 18,
Piano, p. 17) is also memorized when you
write a User Program.
Meaning of the “Edit” message
At some stage, you may come across an
“Edit” message next to the User Program
number.
It means that the last User Program you
selected is still in effect but that the current
settings no longer correspond to the ones in
that memory. Such changes may include
the status of the Reverb or Chorus effect, a
changed volume value, etc.
Before selecting another User Program or
switching off the EM-55, you should there-
fore write these settings to the same (or a
different) User Program if you want to keep
them. Otherwise, you lose these changes.
Please also see p. 48.
User Programs and Disk Links & Style
Disk
The address of the last Music Style you
selected before writing a User Program is
also memorized. This even applies to the
Style RAM memory that may contain a so-
called Style Disk Style (see p. 26). The EM-55
only remembers the memory address —
not
the name of the Style it contained when
you wrote your settings to a User Program.
This also applies to the Disk Link memories
in group B.
