The Sound Library is where the Sounds are stored. Organised in family groups with
a simple “search” system available, finding and selecting Sounds is a simple task.
A Sound Library can be saved and loaded as a Setup-Sound Library. The standard
Sound Library has 518 Rom-Sounds. Customised Sound Libraries also include the
Ram-Sounds (Sound with the symbol ).
You can load Ram-Sounds from standard disks available on the market or create
them in
EDIT SOUND
. Thanks to the Sample Translator you can enrich the Sound
Library with Sounds containing samples loaded from disk or received via Midi
(Ram-Sound with symbol “
”).
The Sounds are organised almost completely according to General Midi standards,
with the exception of the Family “Special FX” which is replaced by the
“Drumkits”. You can remap the Sounds in the Sound Library so that the Program
Changes and Bank Select numbers coincide with the sound mappings of other
instruments.
How the Sound Library is organised
• The Sounds are organised in 16 Families, each consisting of 8 Program Changes
(16x8 = 128).
• Each Program Change can belong to 16 “sound banks” (Bank Select 1...16).

The Rom-Sound map listed in Family groups appears in the Appendix.
