PATCHES
As explained previously, the SKX PRO has four sound-producing divisions or Sections:
1. ORGAN
2. PIANO
3. ENSEMBLE
4. MONO SYNTH
In the keyboard and synth world, a sound or group of sounds and effects is colloquially known as a Patch.
This term derives from old-style synthesizers which used patch cords (originally telephone switchboard-
type cords) to connect the various components to produce specific types of sounds. Although modern
technology has rendered this technique unnecessary, the term “Patch” has remained (although more
recently some manufacturers have adopted other names such as “Tone” or “Voice” to describe collections
of sounds and parameters).
On the SKX PRO, a Patch is defined as a collection of Parameter settings for each Voice Group. For
example, the ORGAN Voice Section has sounds and Parameters which together constitute an Organ Patch
and the PIANO Voice Section has sounds and Parameters which make up a Piano Patch. The same is true
for the ENSEMBLE and MONO SYNTH Voice Sections. Patches from the different Voice Sections are
combined along with the Combination Parameters to produce a Combination.
