Section 8 — Understanding Presets
What is a Preset?
A Preset is a combination of up to eight sounds with their corresponding performance
parameters, and one effects algorithm which is common to all eight tracks, that can be instantly
recalled for use in performance. Presets are handy “performance memories” that allow you to
create and save sound combinations, splits, layers, etc. Presets are also used as the basis for
sequencing, encompassing all the performance parameters for the sounds used within a
sequence.
The eight sounds in a preset reside on eight tracks. For each of these eight tracks, the KT
remembers:
•
Which sound is assigned to the track
• whether or not the sound is selected or layered
• the values of all Performance Parameters for that track (found on the Edit Track pages)
Selecting Presets
To Select Presets:
•
Press
{SELECT_SEQ/PRESET}
. The
{SELECT_SEQ/PRESET}
LED will light, indicating that
you are in Select Sequence/Preset mode:
Bank Location A Preset is selected Preset Memory Location
l m n
iPSET00 Seq/Preset-00
i
Preset Name
On the top line you see “context” information about the current preset, and its memory
location. Across the lower line, the display shows the name of the preset.
When the
{SELECT_SEQ/PRESET}
LED is on, it indicates that the KT is in Select Seq/Preset
mode, and the upper and lower
{0}
to
{9}
buttons will now select sequences or presets (rather
than selecting sounds, as they do when the
{SELECT_SOUND}
LED is on).
How Many Presets are Available in the KT?
There are four banks of 70 Presets/Sequences and 30 Songs, each available in the KT (i:INT
(RAM), r:ROM, a:CARD and b:CARD). The r:ROM presets were designed to demonstrate the
KT’s ability to create keyboard splits, and layer both KT as well as remote MIDI sound sources.
Although we cannot determine what external MIDI sound sources you will be using, these
Performance Presets can be invaluable tools in understanding and using your KT keyboard.
