Preset Programming

There is so much you can do with the XK-6 it would be impossible to
describe it all. This chapter is will give you a few 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.
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 XK-6. If you don't
like what you hear, simply select a new preset, then XK-6 reverts to the
original sound. Changes are not permanent until you Save them (see
"Saving a Preset" on page 187).
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.
