Initialising and creating a preset
If you wish to create a new preset that is not derived from editing an existing one, you can use the
INITIALIZE PRESET function. This is an initialization function, which sets up the synthesizer
parameters in an elementary way to facilitate the creation of a new tone.
The main parameters are, for example, set as follows :
-
Both oscillators (1 and 2) are set up to generate an elementary waveform (sawtooth).
-
The tuning between the two oscillators is set to Slight Beat.
-
The Oscillator level is set to maximum.
-
The envelopes of DCA 1-2 are set with immediate Attach and Sustain at maximum.
-
The filter is set with Cutoff at maximum. Resonance at minimum,. E.G Level at minimum and
KYBD Tracking at 0.
-
Etc..
To initialize a preset, you must exit Edit mode. Press the INITIALIZE PRESET button, and the display
will show the following message:
PRESS ENTER
TO INITIALISE
If you wish to abort the initialisation procedure before confirming with the Enter button, press the
Initialize Preset button or any of the 24 preset selection buttons again.
Pressing the Enter button confirms that you wish to carry out the initialisation procedure and in this
case the display will show the message :
THIS PRESET HAS
BEEN INITIALIZED
This inscription will then be replaced by the words:
INT PRESET 1A ( )
A flashing rectangular symbol ( ) on the display (next to the bank letter A or B) indicates that the
preset has been changed.
You will also notice that the preset name does not appear in the bottom line of the display, because
you can assign any name to that preset.
ATTENTION
Remember that this operation temporarily modifies the content of the original preset, which you can
recall at any time by pressing the preset number button.
If, after the initialisation procedure, you wish to continue creating a preset, enter EDIT mode (by
pressing the Preset / Parameters button) and edit all the necessary parameters, starting with the
selection of the / and table / and to be used.
