[. . . ] OPERATING / SERVICE MANUAL MPE 28 MIDI PROGRAMMABLE EQUALIZER QUICK START Reading owners manuals is like eating vegetables--a nuisance which is necessary, at least according to your mother.

At least read this and save the rest for later. [. . . ] In the Normal Operating mode they allow direct access number entry for Stored Memory selection.
