Programming Tutorial

There is so much you can do with the Xtreme Lead it's impossible to
describe it all. This chapter is will give you some ideas for programming
your own custom sounds and contains step-by-step instructions to help
you get started. In order to get the most from this chapter, we recommend
you actually try each example. Have fun!
One of the easiest ways to make a new preset is to edit an existing preset.
This is also an excellent way of becoming familiar with Xtreme Lead. If you
don't like what you hear, simply select a new preset, then Xtreme Lead
reverts to the original sound. Changes are not permanent until you Save
them (see "Saving a Preset" on page 191).
Let's experiment and modify a few parameters of an existing preset. We'll
start with functions that have an obvious effect on the sound:
Instrument Select, Tuning, and Chorus.
Changing the instrument is the easiest and most dramatic way to modify
an existing preset.
