Selecting and Quick Editing Presets
The ROM Card identifier is shown in the top right of the display. The preset 
is identified in the bottom line of the main screen (the screen that appears 
when you press the Mode/View Preset button).
Each bank of 128 presets is identified by a superscripted Bank Number to the 
right of the preset number. The bank numbers reset to 0 at the start of each 
ROM card you have installed. So with the DRUM ROM installed, the USER 
banks will go from 0-3, then start over from 0-3 for the DRUM ROM banks.
The four User Banks can hold 512 custom presets. Feel free to overwrite these since the 
factory user presets are duplicated in nonvolatile ROM.
To the right of the preset number and bank is the preset Category name 
followed by the Preset Name.
 To Change the Preset
1. Press the Preset button in the Mode/View box directly below the liquid 
crystal display. The main Preset selection screen appears.
2. The cursor will be located under the first character in the Preset Number 
field. This is the “Home” position which is selected instantly when you 
press the Home/Enter button. Pressing either of the two cursor buttons 
repeatedly also gets you there.

You can select presets 
from the Preset Number, Bank 
Number, Preset Category or 
Preset Name fields.
3. Turn the data entry control knob on the front panel to select a new 
preset number. If you turn the knob slowly, the presets advance one 
number for each “click” of the knob. If you spin the knob quickly, the 
numbers advance much faster (more than one number per click).
4. Play the keyboard (or press the Audition button) and listen to the 
sounds made by your PX-7!
Notice that an asterisk 
appears in the display when you 
change the knobs. This indicates 
that you have edited the preset.
5. TRY OUT ANY OF THE 16 KNOBS on the front panel (in Quick Edit 
mode) and note how they change the sound of each preset! Don’t worry 
about ruining the sound, the values are automatically reset as soon as 
you select a new preset.
