13. Working with User Programs

The EXR-46 OR is equipped with 200 User Program memories that allow you to store almost all settings (or registrations) you make on the front panel and via the Function menu (see p. 39).
Note: MIDI settings (see p. 47) are not saved to a User Program
because the EXR-46 OR 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.
USER
PROGRAM
The EXR-46 OR now displays "-Write ?".
(2) Enter the number of the memory where you wish to save
your settings using the numeric buttons [0]~[9].
The "Yes" message starts flashing.
(3) Press [YES÷+] to confirm the number.
(4) Now use the numeric buttons [0]~[9] to name your User
Program.
The available characters are:
_ ! # $ % & ' - @ ^ '
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Note: Each time you press another numeric button (for entering
characters), the cursor advances automatically to the next posi-
tion. This works like a mobile phone.
(5) Press the [YES/+] button to save your settings to the
selected memory. (Press [NO/–] if you don't want to save
them after all.)
The display now responds with the "Complete" message.

Notes about writing User Programs

Leaving the User Program environment
Press any other "big" DATA ENTRY button to leave the User
Program environment.
Meaning of the flashing number
At some stage, you may notice that the User Program num-
ber flashes.
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 sta-
tus of the Reverb or Chorus effect, a changed volume value,
etc.
Before selecting another User Program or switching off the
EXR-46 OR, you should therefore write these settings to the
same (or a different) User Program if you want to keep them.
Otherwise, you lose these changes.

Mode selection

The mode (Arranger, p. 15, Piano Solo, p. 13, Pianist, p. 27) is
also memorized when you write a User Program.
User Programs and the USER STL memory
The last Music Style you selected before writing a User Pro-
gram is also memorized. This even applies to the USER
STL memory that may contain a Style loaded from floppy
disk or the Flash memory (see p. 19).
The 200 User Programs can be saved the Flash memory (see
p. 49) or a floppy disk as a set (see p. 54).

Selecting a User Program

Though the User Program memory you specified above is
already selected, there will be times when you need to select
another memory. In that case, here is what you need to do:
(1) Briefly press [USER¥PROGRAM÷WRITE] (it lights). Do not
hold this button down because doing so will start the
Write procedure (see above).
USER
PROGRAM
The display now shows the number of the User Program you
selected last, or "1" if you have not yet selected a User Pro-
gram since switching on the EXR-46 OR.
The flashing number indicates that the EXR-46 OR is still
using the last manual changes you may have made before
selecting the User Program function. It only means "this is
the last memory you selected".
None of its settings are being used for the time being. By
pressing another "big" button in the DATA ENTRY section,
you can leave the User Program mode without changing
your manual settings. This may be important to remember if
