To make it easier to keep track of Panel Banks you can give them names. Press and hold the
Panel Bank button to see the bank menu. Use the Up/Down buttons to select a bank. The bank's
name appears in the display. Every Panel Memory button that lights up indicates a Panel
Memory that you've stored.
To rename a bank, press the middle display button underneath the bank's name. The existing
name (or blank space, if the bank is unused) appears with a cursor under one of the characters.
Use the Right and Left buttons to move back and forth in the name, and the display button
labeled DELETE
Insert characters by pressing keys on the keyboard: white keys for letters, black keys for digits or
spaces. The lowest white key on the keyboard (A 0) corresponds to "A," proceeding along the
white keys to "Z "at E 4. The next key (F 4) corresponds to "a" (lowercase "A") and proceeds
to "z" at the high end of the keyboard. The digits are represented by the lowest black keys on the
keyboard, followed by punctuation marks and spaces. When you've chosen the name you like,
press the display button labeled
name unchanged.
Saving Panel Memories
You can save all of your panel memory banks on a computer disk using MIDI to send the data to
the computer. This is a good idea if you've set up elaborate or complex memories which would
take time to restore. The details of MIDI connections are specified in Chapter 4. You must also
have an appropriate computer-based sequencer running on the computer. Once this setup is in
place, press the display button underneath the words
menu. The V150/V110 will display a screen prompting you to set up the MIDI connection and
sequencer. When everything is set up, press the display button labeled
write the panel memory data to your computer via MIDI.
Panel memory data saved in this manner are in the form of a Kurzweil-specific Sysex Data
Stream that can be loaded back into the V150/V110 using MIDI. Each panel memory is restored
to the position it was in (both number and bank) when it was saved. The details of how to do
this are dependent on the sequencer you have running on your computer, and are beyond the
scope of this manual. You should be aware, however, that loading panel memory data into the
V150/V110 may overwrite existing panel memories, so be careful to save any existing work on
the instrument before loading new data.
Pedal Stepping
If you are using the Panel Memory feature to assist in performance, you may wish to change the
setting while continuing to play. To make this "hands off" method possible, the V150/V110
supports Pedal Stepping of panel memories. In this mode of operation one of the pedals will
cause the selection of the next panel memory setting. The light associated with the new panel
memory will be lit to indicate which panel memory is active. When the last memory in a panel
bank is active and a step occurs, the next bank gets selected, and the first Panel Memory in the
new bank is selected.
You can enable pedal stepping from the panel bank menu. Press the display button labeled
Pedal|Step
When pedal stepping is assigned to a pedal, any other assigned functions for that pedal are
ignored. When the instrument is powered up, pedal stepping is always inactive (assigned to
Off.)
