Section 4 — Instrument, Bank, & Preset Parameters
1
This section offers detailed descriptions of the commands and parameters used in selecting,
creating, and editing Instruments, Banks and Performance Presets. For an overview of the
concepts involved, refer to the previous section.
Edit/Instrument Page
The parameters on this page are used to modify the individual Instrument(s). To access these
parameters press Edit, then Instrument.
Tip:
When Edit/Instrument parameters are displayed, pressing a loaded Instrument•Sequence Track
button will display the Edit/Instrument values for the selected Instrument. This feature provides
quick access to the same parameter for different instruments when setting instrument parameter
values relative to one another.
EDIT
PATCH (Layer Enable/Disable)
INST
Press Edit / Instrument / 0
Using the Patch Select Buttons
The two patch select buttons above and to the left of the wheels can be programmed to provide
instant access to up to four completely different sounds within each instrument. The alternate
sound might be a different set of samples, or the same samples with different envelopes, or a
chorused version of the sound, or perhaps a different range of an instrument.
What you are doing when you press either or both of the patch select buttons is selecting
different layers to play. A layer is a group of wave samples spread across the keyboard — each
instrument can have up to eight layers. For each of the four possible patches, any of these eight
layers can be made to play or to remain silent.
• The patch select buttons are “momentary” — an alternate patch will play only on notes played
while the button is held down unless you “lock in” a Patch.
• To “lock in” a particular patch so that it will play without having to hold any buttons: while
holding down the patch select button(s) corresponding to the patch you want to “lock in,”
simply press the Instrument•Sequence Track button.
• To return to the default patch (neither patch button down) after you have “locked in” one of
the other patches, press the Instrument•Sequence Track button again (with neither of the
patch select buttons held down).
