The first step towards creating either a bunch of Individual Instrument Presets or a Multi-
instrument Preset is to store the desired Voices in the Bank. If you have a good
collection of Library disks, clear the Bank then load the desired Voices from the various
disks into the Bank. You can also just sample the Voices you need directly into the Bank.
In many cases, however, you will want to use Voices from different Performance or
Library disks. Suppose you want a bass Voice from one disk, an electric piano Voice
from another disk, and the trumpet Voices from a third disk; here’s how you would
proceed.
1. Clear the Bank memory.
2. Load the Performance or Library disk containing the bass Voice. Select the
desired bass Voice as the Current Voice, and save it to a Library disk.
3. Clear the Bank memory again. Load the Performance or Library disk containing
the electric piano Voice, select this Voice as the Current Voice, and save it to the
same Library disk to which you saved the bass Voice.
4. Clear the Bank memory again. Load the Performance or Library disk containing
the trumpet Voices; assign one of the Voices you want to use as the Current
Voice, then save it to the same Library disk to which you saved the bass and
electric piano Voice. Similarly load any other Voices you want to use to the
Library disk.
5. You now have a Library disk containing all the Voices you want to use. Clear the
Bank, and then load each Voice into the Bank from the Library disk.
6. When creating Individual Instrument Presets, assign the desired Voices to the
desired Presets. When creating Multi-instrument Presets, you might typically
assign the bass Voice to the lower keyboard range, the electric piano to the
middle, and the horns to the upper keyboard range.
7. Check how much memory is left in the Bank. Remember that for every 27,500
remaining samples you can sequence approximately 4,500 notes. If your goal is
to program lots of Sequences using a relatively small number of Voices, then you
will want to make sure you allow sufficient memory space for the Sequences. If
on the other hand you want to program just a couple of Sequences but these
require several Presets containing lots of different Voices, you will use up most of
your memory in the process of storing Voices.
For example, at one point I wanted to create a disk of “practice sequences” over
which I could practice guitar and keyboard solos. Therefore, I needed enough
memory space for lots of Sequences, and just enough Voices to make up the
“band”. I made up one Preset with bass, synth, and horns assigned to different
areas of the keyboard, and another Preset with synth bass, synthesizer and
horns, again assigned to different parts of the keyboard. I would record each
instrument on its own track, and then bounce these into one track to create a
composite of the three different instruments. Another track was dedicated to
being a MIDI Preset for driving a Drumulator via its MIDI input, and another track
was dedicated to driving a small outboard MIDI keyboard for special effects.
Occasionally, I would record variations on one track in a separate Sequencer
