Customizing The Internal Voices Mode - Kurzweil PC88 A Step By Step Manual

PC88 Made Easy

25. Customizing the Internal Voices Mode

Now that you have learned about various programming techniques for Setups, you might
want to apply some of these things to the Internal Voices mode. Essentially, when you
are in Internal Voices mode, you are playing a single zone setup. So all of the zone
programming parameters apply. For example, you might want to assign a slider to
Tempo Control for the Arpeggiator. This is easily done.
1. Start in Internal Voices mode.
2. Edit any of the parameters found within the MIDI Transmit, Program, Key Range,
Transpose, Velocity, Controllers, and Arpeggiator buttons.
3. Press Store. The display will ask if you want to save a Setup and will pick the first
empty Setup location.
4. Press the Internal Voices. The display now asks if you want to save to Internal Voices.
Press Enter, and you are done.
Since there is only one location for the Internal Voices parameters in memory, any
changes you make using this method will wipe out the defaults that currently exist for
those parameters. But if you Reset the PC88, those defaults will return. (See page 9-5 in
the manual for information on resetting the PC88.)
There are two parameters which canÕt be changed from the defaults - the Program and
the Bank. Whenever you boot up the PC88, it will always call up Program 0 Classical
Piano in the Internal Voices Bank. After that, whatever sound you call up in Internal
Voices mode is remembered and the PC88 will switch to that sound if you switch to
Internal Voices mode from MIDI Setups mode. In addition, the Effects settings arenÕt set
by the above method. Since each individual Program can have its own Effects, the
regular method of choosing an Effect setting for a program (as described in the intro
section of this document) still applies.
