Roland E-A7 User Manual

User Program (UPG)
User Programs (UPG) and User Program
Sets (UPS)
Style and song reference data, and all settings that are loaded
together with this data (such as the intro and ending status, and
the settings of the selected variation) are handled together as a unit
called a User Program (subsequently abbreviated as UPG).
Additionally, up to 100 UPGs that you create can be saved in a User
Program Set (UPS).
The E-A7 can load a UPS when it starts up, so that you’ll always be
able to use the User Program button to easily recall up to 100 UPGs.
If you accumulate more than 100 UPGs, you can create a new UPS
and save it in internal storage or external storage.
This means that by using a dierent UPS, you can have an unlimited
number of UPGs.
NOTE
The E-A7 has a user program set called “Music Assistant.”
This set cannot be erased or edited.
Loading a UPS
By loading a UPS, you can then use the E-A7’s User Program buttons
and direct buttons to recall UPGs.
NOTE
When you load a UPS, any changes that you had made to the
previously loaded UPS will be lost. If you want to keep the
changes you made, save the UPS (p. 48).
1. Press the UPG/UPS List [L ] button.
The UPGs in the currently loaded UPS are shown in the list.
Press this again to see the UPS list.
Subsequently, the UPG list screen and UPS list screen will alternate
each time you press the button.
2. In the UPS list screen, select the UPS that you want to
load.

Recalling the UPG
Up to 100 UPGs can be stored in a UPS.
These UPGs are organized by Bank and Number. There are ten banks,
1–10, and each bank contains numbers 1–10.
This means that you’ll recall a UPG by specifying it in the range from
1-1 through 10-10.

100 UPGs.
You can select a UPG either by using the User Program buttons
