Selecting
When the instructions say to select an option, you can use whatever
method is most comfortable for you: the Data Entry Control, the Incre-
ment/Decrement buttons, the numeric keypad (if applicable) and, when
naming, or selecting pitches, the keyboard keys. Some functions do not
implement all these options; you can't go wrong by trying, though. If a
function doesn't respond to the numeric keypad, for instance, then
pressing the keypad will have no effect. Use the Data Entry Control or
the INC/DEC buttons instead.
The Big Re-Cap
• A sample is a raw sound that is loaded into the bank.
• To create a new preset, make sure you have all the samples required
for the preset in the bank, number and name a preset, then assign
combinations of samples from the bank to specific sections of the
keyboard. By specifying one or more of these samples (or portions
thereof) as a zone, the zone may then be processed by the ESI' s
dynamic signal processors.
• After arranging a bank, it can be saved to one or more drives.
• Since loading from a hard disk fills the bank with samples and
presets, you can group these samples into new presets, process the
samples contained in particular zones, or alter existing presets.
