Selecting and Quick Editing Presets
The
ROM Card
identifier is shown in the top right of the display. The preset
is identified in the bottom line of the main screen (the screen that appears
when you press the Mode/View Preset button).
Each bank of 128 presets is identified by a superscripted
Bank Number
to the
right of the preset number. The bank numbers reset to 0 at the start of each
ROM card you have installed. So with the XL-7 ROM installed, the USER
banks will go from 0-3, then start over from 0-3 for the XL-7 ROM banks.
The four User Banks can hold 512 custom presets. Feel free to overwrite these since the
factory user presets are duplicated in nonvolatile ROM.
To the right of the preset number and bank is the preset
Category
name
followed by the
Preset Name
.
To Change the Preset
1.
Press the
Preset
button in the Mode/View box directly below the liquid
crystal display. The main Preset selection screen appears.
2.
The cursor will be located under the first character in the Preset Number
field. This is the “Home” position which is selected instantly when you
press the Home/Enter button. Pressing either of the two cursor buttons
repeatedly also gets you there.

You can select presets
from the Preset Number, Bank
Number, Preset Category or
Preset Name fields.
3.
Turn the
data entry control
knob on the front panel to select a new
preset number. If you turn the knob slowly, the presets advance one
number for each “click” of the knob. If you spin the knob quickly, the
numbers advance much faster (more than one number per click).
4.
Play the keyboard
(or press the Audition button) and listen to the
sounds made by your XL-7!
Notice that an asterisk
appears in the display when you
change the knobs. This indicates
that you have edited the preset.
5.
TRY OUT ANY OF THE 16 KNOBS
on the front panel
(in Quick Edit
mode)
and note how they change the sound of each preset! Don’t worry
about ruining the sound, the values are automatically reset as soon as
you select a new preset.
