Preview Sample (PRVIEW)
Press the PRVIEW button to go to the PREVIEW page. The PREVIEW page can be used to
automatically make a new keymap and program using any sample or group of sample roots.
Programs created with the preview function are saved in Program Mode. This allows you to
quickly hear what a sample or group of sample roots will sound like in a program. The preview
function is also a quick way to begin making a new program which can be edited further if
desired.
If a single sample is selected a single keyrange keymap will be created. If a group of sample
roots is selected, the preview function will try to create a keymap with multiple keyranges based
on each sample's root key. If the sample or group of sample roots are stereo, the created program
will be stereo.
To use the preview function, go to the PREVIEW page, select a sample or group of sample roots
in the Sample field using the Alpha Wheel, ‐/+ buttons, or the alphanumeric pad, then press the
OK soft button. Next you will be shown a list of banks by ID# range (bank 1 = 1...128, bank 2 =
129...256, etc.) Use the Alpha Wheel or ‐/+ buttons to choose a bank from this list. The preview
function will save the created program and keymap using the lowest unused ID numbers
available in that bank or higher. The preview function will never overwrite existing programs or
keymaps. Saving to the User bank (1025...1152 and above) will make it easiest to find the new
program or keymaps in the Programs list or Keymaps list. Press the Ok soft button to choose the
selected bank and create the new program and keymap. The new program will be selected in the
currently selected channel in Program Mode.
