EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual
Section 3 — Instruments and Banks
A Few Important Notes About Banks
• The bank file on a disk doesn't contain the actual instrument and song 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 separately (or
loaded in from a disk with a proper Disk Label ID) prior to 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. Also, any instruments included in the bank that are already in
memory will be left there and not reloaded, even if they are in different
Instrument/Track locations in the new bank. In such a case the EPS-16 PLUS
will simply move the instrument to the new location.
• The instrument and song files referred to by a bank can be on many different
disks. Each time you load an Instrument or Song, the EPS-16 PLUS
"remembers" what disk it was loaded from. When you load a bank file, the
EPS-16 PLUS will ask by name for any disks it needs to load the files included
in the bank. This is why it is very important that you give each of your disks a
unique name (Disk Label) and write that name on the disk itself.
• If there was a song in memory when the bank was saved, the EPS-16 PLUS
will automatically load the song as part of the bank, provided it was first saved
to a disk using the SAVE SONG AND ALL SEQS command. If you want the
bank to load without a song, erase the contents of the sequencer memory before
saving the bank to disk.
To Load a Bank
• Press Load, then Instrument.
• Use the Up/Down Arrow buttons to view the different files.
When a bank file is showing, the BANK indicator lights on the display along
with the INST indicator.
• Once a bank file is showing, press Enter•Yes. The EPS-16 PLUS will
begin loading the instruments and the song data. As it loads each instrument the
display tells you what it doing. As soon as any of the instruments is finished
loading you can select that instrument and play while the rest of the bank loads.
At some point in the loading process, you may encounter the following message:
