Auditioning Presets
Auditioning Presets
The front panel audition button allows you to hear any preset in XK-6
without even playing a note! When the Audition button is pressed, the
button’s LED will illuminate and a short “Riff” (programmed as part of the
preset) will play. The Riff is latched on and plays continuously until the
button is pressed again. Presets can be changed while Audition is latched.

To audition presets with
their programmed effects, switch
to Omni or Poly mode (located
in the MIDI menu).
The top line of the Main screen changes to show the MIDI Bank Select
controller values needed to select the preset being auditioned. This is an
extremely handy feature when sequencing.
To Audition a Preset:
1.
Select a preset by turning the
data entry control
while the cursor is
anywhere on the lower line of the main screen (shown below).
2.
Select a preset by turning the
data entry control
while the cursor is
anywhere on the lower line. The preset number field (shown above) is
the normal position of the cursor and pressing the Enter button will
return the cursor to this position.
3.
Press the
Audition
button on the front panel. The Audition LED will
illuminate and a short riff will play the selected preset.
4.
Continue to select and audition presets.
5.
Press the
Audition
button again to turn Audition mode off. The LED
will extinguish.
6.
Play the keyboard.

Be sure to check out the Pitch Wheel, controller knobs and Mod Wheel.
