The
Promega2
has been designed with ease of use and quick access to all features in
mind. Common functions such as layering sounds, splitting the keyboard and assigning
effect can all be carried out without the need to use any edit menus or LCD functions.
This chapter will serve as a quick guide to get you up and running as quickly as
possible with the Promega.
First we’ll look at “real-time operations” (setting up the instrument manually without
using the Performance Memories), and then move on to storing and recalling your
favorite sound combinations.
Essentially, you can think of the Promega as number of different sound modules or
sections, each of which has exactly the same controls. All of these sections have a
large red ON/OFF button so combining a number of sounds is as simple as switching
on a number of these sections simultaneously.
Let’s start by looking at one of these sound modules in detail:
This is the PIANOS module from the PROmega2.
The red ON/OFF button
is used to activate or de-
activate the section as
required.
The large rotary
knob, (or V-POT), is
used to select
between the various
sounds in the section.
The slider can be used to adjust
the volume of the section, (and
many other parameters as
we will see later on).
The OCTAVE buttons are
used to raise or lower
the pitch of the section
by 12 half-steps.
The EFFECTS buttons will
add or remove the
currently selected REVERB
and PRO EFX processing
to the current sound.
The TO LEFT button
will assign the sound
in this section to the
left side of the current
keyboard split point.
The Promega2 has three sound sections:
Section 1 : PIANOS
Section 2 : VINTAGE KEYS
Section 3 : BASS/OTHER
You can repeatedly press the + or – button to
keep shifting the section’s pitch higher or lower.
To return the section to it’s original pitch, simply
press both the + and – button together. Original
pitch is indicated by both leds being off.
That’s it! Having explained how the controls of one of these modules operate, you should
now be able to see that all the other sound modules work in exactly the same way.
