INTERFACE STRUCTURE
Thanks to its multitasking operating system, the microAR‐
RANGER user interface is structured in “overlapping”, active
layers. From the lower level:
• operating modes (Style Play, Backing Sequence, Song
Play, Song, Program)
• edit environments (Global, Card)
• selecting windows (Style Select, Song Select, Program
Select, Performance Select).
When opening an edit environment or a selecting page, the
current operating mode is still working in the background.
Edit environment. (See diagram at the bottom). When you
press GLOBAL or SD CARD, an edit environment overlaps
the current operating mode. Press EXIT to go back to the current
operating mode.
An edit environment is made up of a menu and a series of
edit pages. Use the MENU and PAGE buttons to browse
across the various edit pages.

PROGRAM/PERFORMANCE buttons, you open a selecting
window. This window closes after selecting one of the items
in it, or after pressing EXIT.

and go back to the underlying page.

in the MODE section. The relevant icon lights up in the
display.
An operating mode is divided into a main page (the page
where you usually play a Style, a Song or a Program), a
menu, and a series of edit pages.
Press MENU to access the Menu. Use the MENU and PAGE
buttons to browse across the various edit pages. Press EXIT to
