Virtual Selection Levels and ‘Acc / Sounds Special Selection Areas’
Each Accompaniment and Sound group push button on the left and right control panels house five levels of sound
selections. Not all push buttons will have five levels Factory Preset, but it is possible map up to five levels of sounds to
the Sound group push buttons and up to five levels of accompaniments to the Accompaniment group push buttons.
To navigate through the levels, there are two ways to do this. Either simply touch the Level that you desire (for exam -
ple ‘Level 3’, and the sounds of the accompaniments mapped to this level will be displayed.
The 2nd method of navigating through the levels has already been explained in an earlier part of the manual, but we
will repeat the process here. Simply press the push button that you wish to select either a sound from or an accompa -
niment from, by repeatedly pressing the same push button, you can navigate through the levels mapped to the push
button.
Using the ‘Strings 1’ push button in the ‘Ensemble’ sound group on the control panel to the right of the TFT display
screen, if you press the ‘String 1’ push button just once, Level 1 of the ‘Strings 1’ push button will be displayed. If you
press the same push button again, you will navigate to Level 2. Each time you continue to press the button, you will
move through the Levels, eventually coming back to Level 1.
ACC / Sounds Buttons
These buttons are for slightly more advanced use and allow users to ‘Map’ any Sounds and Accompaniment from the
OAS database idirectly into a Total Preset without having to change any ‘Mappings’ of the Sound group and Accompa -
niment push buttons.
More detailed information on this is presented in the ‘Mappings’ chapter of the programming manual.
PLEASE NOTE: The maximum number of Total Presets is limited by the factory to 2000. If you want to use
more Total Presets please contact WERSI Direct to increase this number by a change in the OAS registry.
Please consider that for a very large number of Total Presets (10,000) for example may result in a small delay
when opening certain OAS aspects (such as the OAS Preset Manager or selecting presets via Quickload).
14 Total Presets
Because in the user manual we often use the terms ‘Presets’ and ‘To -
tal Preset’, we want to explain these terms plainly. A preset normally
is an instruction that tells a certain part of the instrument what to do.
For example, earlier in this user guide we talked about the ‘Arabic
Tuning’ presets. These are specific data instruction assignments for
that specific part of the instrument.
When we refer to a ‘Total Preset’, we refer to a ‘Global Preset’ that is
capable of storing all ‘Preset Data’ and custom settings set up across
the instrument. A ‘Total Preset’ allows the user to instantly setup the
entire instrument at a touch of a button (recall of a Total Preset).
Total Presets are great tools for live performances. You can perfect
your Sound, Accompaniment, Selectors, Mixer, Effects, SFX, Outputs
and more for the performance of your life... or simply for your own
enjoyment at home!
Of course, there are a number of Factory Total Presets already in -
stalled in your instrument to help you on your musical voyage through
the OpenArt-System.
