The Concept Of The Rp220 Preset; The Structure Of A Preset - GEM RP220 Owner's Manual

The concept of the RP220 Preset

How to select the Sounds (or Presets) is discussed in the Quick Guide.
This chapter takes a deeper look into the Preset controlling parameters
and how to use them to create User Presets to suit your playing.
Whatever RP220 Preset is selected also recalls a set of user programma-
ble performance parameters, as shown in the margin.
As can be seen in the table shown opposite, the RP220 Presets "carry"
several different types of variable performance parameters, easily accessed
and modified. The modified Presets can then be saved (together with any
other changes that you decide to make) to the User Preset locations for
future recall.

The structure of a Preset

The RP220 provides three different playing modes: Single, Split and
Layer. The passage from one mode to the other is simple and straight
forward; from Single, press Split or Layer. From Layer or Split, deactivate
the selected Control button to return to Single.
If you have followed the Quick Guide, you will have discovered that the
Single, Split and Layer Presets are appropriately programmed to suit the
mode being used.
The possibility of switching from one mode to the other is due to the
RP220 Preset structure, which consists of three sections:
1. A section for the main sound (Single mode);
2. A section for the Split;
3. A section for the Layer.
The three sections recall independently programmed control parameter
settings together with the possibility of memorizing the On/Off status of
each section.
You can check this by selecting, for example, the Preset buttons from 5
to 8 for any Preset Group button. You will note that the Split or Layer
button will activate automatically according to the Preset button selected.
The Single Presets, on the other hand (buttons 1 - 4) provide the
possibility of activating Layer or Split situations at any moment. Further-
more, in the User Preset section, you can save your modified Presets to
suit your playing needs.
