4.1 Using the presets
The presets memorize the ARP2600 V sounds. A preset contains all of the inter-module connections
and the different controller information necessary for the recreation of an identical sound. In the
ARP2600 V, presets are classed in “banks” and “sub-banks”. Each bank contains a certain number of
sub-banks, which determine a type of sound: sub-bank “basses”, sub-bank “sound effects”, etc.
Each sub-bank contains a certain number of presets.
The ARP2600 V comes with several “factory” sound banks. It is possible to create new “user” sound
banks, each containing an arbitrary number of sub-banks and presets. For security, the “factory”
settings are not directly modifiable. It is, however, possible to modify a sound based on a factory
preset and to record it to a “user” bank.
4.1.1 Choice of bank, sub-bank, preset
The banks, sub-banks and presets being currently used are always displayed in the synthesizer tool-
bar.

drop-down menu appears with a list of presets from the same sub-bank. You can choose another
preset in the menu by selecting the corresponding line. Once the preset has been chosen, you can
play the new sound from your MIDI keyboard or sequencer.

To choose a preset in the same main bank, but in a different sub-bank, click on the button on the
left of the current sub-bank, a drop-down menu will appear with the list of sub-banks contained in
the same main bank. Each sub-bank in the menu allows you to open a sub-menu containing its pre-
sets. A click on a preset lets you directly choose a preset in the new sub-bank.
To choose a preset in another main bank, click on the button . A drop-down menu appears with
the choice of the main banks that are available, and the sub-lists corresponding to the sub-banks
defined in each main bank and the presets contained in each sub-bank. You can now freely choose a
preset by clicking on its name.
