Classic Keys is organized as shown in the
diagram below.
The Preset is a complete set of all program
parameters for a complete Classic Keys
sound.
The preset memory is organized into two
banks of 128 user RAM presets (banks 0-1)
and two banks of unalterable ROM presets
(banks 2-3).
Each preset consists of one or more
Instruments. An instrument is a complete
set of samples or a digital waveform which
covers the entire keyboard range. An
instrument can be assigned to each of the
Primary and Secondary layers of the
preset.
The primary and secondary layers are
essentially two instruments with
complete modulation controls. The two
layers can be layered or placed adjacent
to each other, and can be switched or
crossfaded together in various ways.
Up to four presets can be Linked in
order to have more than one preset on
the keyboard at a time. The linked
presets may lie on top of each other to
create a dense layered sound or be
arranged side by side on the keyboard to
create a split keyboard.
