Creating Setups
If you’ve read
Layering and Splitting
on page 3-15, you know how to create layered setups using
the AutoSplit feature. Doing it this way, however, adds a lot of other features to the resulting
setup, and you may not want that. Sometimes it’s better to start from scratch.
1.
Start by selecting Setup
128 Default Setup
. (Don’t press
Edit
yet.)
2.
Press each of the
Zone 1
through
Zone 4
buttons once (notice the zone numbers labeled
in blue below the buttons). As you press each button, notice how the bottom line of the
display shows you the corresponding zone number.
You’ll also notice that every zone already has a program assigned to it. That’s fine,
because you can always mute zones (or turn then off) if you don’t want to hear them. In
fact, all the zones are muted now (their zone buttons are amber). You muted Zone 1
when you pressed its button, because it was the current zone. Let’s shut two of the
zones off, to make the setup as simple as possible.
3.
Press
Edit
, which displays the MIDI Xmit menu.
4.
Press
Enter
, which displays the first parameter (MIDI Channel) in the MIDI Xmit menu.
5.
Press the
Zone 3
button. The display looks like this:
The top line indicates the current zone, as well as the current bank and program ID.
Notice the minus sign after the zone number, indicating that the zone is muted.
6.
Turn the Alpha Wheel to the left until you see
Off
in the bottom line of the display.
Notice that the
Zone 3
button is now unlit, indicating that the zone is off.
7.
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for Zone 4. You now have a two-zone setup (the setup still has four
zones, but two of them are completely inactive).
8.
Press the
Zone 1
button to make Zone 1 the current zone. Press it again to unmute the
zone, if necessary. The
Zone 1
LED should be green.
9.
Press
Menu
to return to the list of menus.
10.
Press the
Right
cursor button to view the Program menu, and press
Enter
to view the
Program ID and name parameter. This is one of the rare cases in which you don’t see
the
name
of the parameter, just its value.
You should see
000 Stereo Grand
on the bottom line of the display. If you don’t, select it
now.
11.
Press the
Zone 2
button to make Zone 2 the current zone. Press it again to unmute it, if
necessary. The
Zone 2
LED should be green.
12.
Select the program
064 Lyrical Strings
.
13.
Press
Store
to display the Save dialog:
Notice that the PC1 suggests a setup ID of
129
, which is the first unused setup ID in the
User bank. We’ll use that ID, but we’ll rename the setup before storing it.
