In the main page/menu you'll see Int Out:1 Part: 1-Program
W/the cursor highlight Part
use the right click until it highlights Program
turn the jog wheel or hit [window]
a new screen pops up
use the jog wheel to select your designated program.

When I first got my 4k, the advice given to me was"Press [Window] every chance you get and work w/the machine until you know it inside and out as if its second nature,...even if your not around it you can go through the actions in your head.
Welcome and Peace

thats not it, maybe i didnt explain it correct, what happens is this... i load a program and it goes through the motions of actually loading the program. Once it shows that the program is loaded i navigate to the page where u can select ur programs and it is not there. I then check to see if the individual sounds from that program are loaded, and they are i jus dont have a program name to select. i dont know if that means the program itself is the problem or the 4k is acting up on me. this only happens with a few of my programs so i was really thinking it mite be the particular programs that r the problem, any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!! im goin crazy!!!

Check to see that the program is assigned to a part in your multi. All parts have the midi channels, outputs, and pans. Plus you can have more than one multi load which means the program may be load on one multi and not another thus not showing up. You should go to multi mode and press f2 and spin the wheel to assign it to a part.

See if you have mute/solo on If that doesn't work check your main/headphone volume and if your using speakers make sure they're plugged in right/assigned, check the mixer page to make sure all your levels are up and....G-LUCK
