GUIDED TOURS
GUIDED TOUR #7:
MANAGING THE BANK
BACKGROUND AND SETUP
The following functions don’t necessarily do glamorous things, but they are very useful.
This Guided Tour acquaints you with these utilities.
Begin by loading the Arco Strings (Piano/Strings) bank.
ERASING A PRESET
Refer to
PRESET MANAGEMENT 4
and erase Preset 01. Don’t worry, this is just gone
from the bank, not the disk. And we can get it back anyway by...
LOADING A PRESET
See
PRESET MANAGEMENT 1
and load Preset 01. Now it’s back in the bank again.
OTHER BANK MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
The other functions—copy, rename, create, and preset size— are pretty much self-
explanatory. Refer to
PRESET MANAGEMENT 5, 6, 3,
and
7
respectively. Try these
various functions to get a feel for how they work.
PRESET MANAGEMENT 8
lets you
save the bank to disk.
GUIDED TOUR #8:
THE SEQUENCER
The Emax II sequencer is a “scratchpad” for musical ideas, and is not intended to be a
sophisticated do-all whiz-bang. However, you can create sequences on a fancy com-
puter and, using Supermode, download these sequences via MIDI into the sequencer
(
SEQUENCER SETUP 6
).
For now, we’ll check out how the sequencer works as a scratchpad, so load the Arco
Strings bank, activate
SEQUENCER MANAGE
, and let’s go.
1. Key in 1 to set the tempo. While you’re at it, activate
SEQUENCER MANAGE 2
and
make sure that the Emax II clock is on Internal. The other Sequencer Manage options—
Load, Erase, Copy, and Rename—are described under
SEQUENCER MANAGE 3
through
6
.
2. Now press
SELECT
. Enter sequence numbers 01, 02, 03 etc. from the keypad, until you
find one that says, "Empty Seq". This is the sequence into which we will record.
