E-Mu Vintage Keys Operation Manual page 36

This chapter explains how Vintage Keys sounds are constructed and
contains important background information on how to create your
own custom presets.
Your initial involvement with Vintage Keys will most likely consist of
using the existing presets and selecting MIDI channels. While the
factory presets are very good, there are probably some things you
would like to change, perhaps the LFO speed, the filter cutoff or the
attack time. You may also want to make your own custom presets
using complex modulation routings. There are 256 user locations (000-
255) available to store your own creations or edited factory presets.
Best of all, it's easy to edit or create new presets using the edit menu.
Presets can be made up of both a primary and secondary instrument.
Presets can also be "linked" with up to 3 additional presets to create
layering or splits.
One way to create a keyboard split is assign an instrument to a specific
range and then link it to other presets which fill in the empty keys.
Using a combination of 4 linked presets and the primary and second-
ary instrument ranges, up to 8 keyboard splits can be produced. If
linked presets overlap on the same keyboard range, the presets will be
doubled or stacked.

presets. Remember that each preset can consist of both a primary and secondary
instrument.
