Play mode
Play mode is the mode in which you will normally use
the PX5D.
Selecting a program
Use the π/† CURSOR to select a program. The pro-
gram/effect type display will show the program name,
and the value display will show the program number.
You can select from one hundred user programs (U00–
U99) and one hundred preset programs (P00–P99). You
can select programs even if you're in Rhythm & Bass
mode, Phrase Trainer mode (except while recording), or
Utility mode (except while in certain screens).
PROGRAM MEMORY [A], [B], [C], [D] buttons
You can assign four of your favorite programs to the PROGRAM
MEMORY [A]–[D] buttons. While you perform, simply press
the corresponding PROGRAM MEMORY [A]–[D] button and
the selected program will be recalled instantly.
Here's how to assign a program to a button. In this example,
we'll assign the selected program to button [A].

Use the π/† CURSOR to select the program you
want to assign to button [A].

You can use a foot switch connected to the FOOT SW
jack to switch between the four programs assigned to
PROGRAM MEMORY [A]–[D] (☞p.34 "FOOTSW").
Using foot switches to select programs
If you connect foot switches to the PX5D's FOOT SW jack
and use Utility mode to assign the Pedal Switch function,
you'll be able to use the foot switches to select programs.
Use the included cable for FOOT SW jack to connect your
foot switches. The red jack on one end of the cable will be
Program Up, and the other white jack will be Program
Down (☞p.11 "Making connections," p.34 " FOOTSW").
Master level
When you turn the Value encoder to adjust the master
level, the master level value will be shown in the program
number/value display for several seconds. The bar graph
will also change to indicate the level. The master level is
remembered even when the power is turned off.
