EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual Section 1 — Getting Started
Deleting an Instrument from the Internal Memory
Sometimes you will want to delete an instrument from memory — to free up
some memory for sampling, for instance. Make sure you have saved the
instrument to disk before deleting it (see Section 11 —Storage for details on
saving instruments, banks, and sequences).
• Verify that the instrument you want to delete is selected.
• Press Command, then Instrument.
• Press the Right Arrow button repeatedly until the display reads DELETE
INSTRUMENT.
• Press Enter•Yes. The display asks DELETE <INST NAME>?
• Press Enter•Yes. (Or press Cancel•No to abort the procedure.)
Hint: There is a "shortcut" method for deleting an instrument from internal memory.
First, press the Instrument•Track button of the instrument you would like to
delete. Then, while continuing to hold the Instrument•Track button down,
press the Cancel•No button.
About Banks
Banks provide a way to load a whole group of instruments and sequences into the
EPS-16 PLUS with a few button presses. When you save a bank to disk, it is
like taking a "snapshot" of the contents of the EPS-16 PLUS Internal memory —
the EPS-16 PLUS stores in the bank file information about which instruments are
loaded into which of the eight Instrument•Track locations, and the current song
and sequences (if any). When you load a bank, the EPS-16 PLUS will
reproduce the same state by loading those instruments into the same locations
and, if you choose, loading the song with its related sequences. A bank will also
save any Performance Presets you have created (see Section 3 —Instruments
and Banks for more details).
For example, you might have a piano loaded into instrument #1, a bass in
instrument #2, and drums in instrument #3, and you have created a number of
Performance Presets containing different keyboard configurations of those
instruments. Let's say you also have in memory a song, which is composed of
12 sequences. If you now save the contents of memory as a bank, you can later.
call up this exact setup by loading the bank.
The bank file on a disk doesn't contain the actual instrument and sequence files —
it is just a set of instructions telling the EPS-16 PLUS what to load and where.
All the instruments and the song in a bank must be saved to disk individually
prior saving the bank. Any instruments already loaded into locations not affected
by the bank will be left intact (memory permitting). You can select and play such
instruments while the bank loads.
