Combinations
94
There are two categories of Combinations on the SKX PRO - Factory and User. The Factory Patches are
permanently factory-programmed and cannot be overwritten. User Patches are Patches which you create
and Record, either by editing a Factory Patch and Recording the result as a User Patch or by using the
MANUAL button to start from scratch and create and Record an entirely new Patch. In the Information
Center Display, Factory Patches are designated by the letter F and User Patches are designated by the letter
U. There are 100 Factory Combinations and, you can create and Record up to 100 User Combinations,
making a total of 200 possible Combinations.
NOTE: Although you can create entirely new Patches and store them, there may be occasions when a Patch
already contains most of what you need, and only one or two changes need to be made. For example, if you want
to create your own Electric Piano Patch, select one of the Electric Piano Factory Patches to modify to your liking.
You can then Record the Patch with your modifications as a User Patch.
SPECIAL NOTE: User Combinations are not shown in the Information Center Display unless you create
and Record them. Creating and Recording Combinations and Patches will be covered later in this chapter.
The three-digit number following the letter U or F refers to the currently selected Combination Number.
The Combination Name appears to the right of the Combination Number.
For the Combination currently shown (F001 Vintage B-3 DLS), only the ORGAN Voice Section is active.
Notice that only the ORGAN ALLOCATE button is "ON" (LED lit).
2. From the screen shown on the previous page, turn the VALUE knob to the right. You will see
the Combination Numbers and Names change. You will also see the ALLOCATE buttons turn
"ON" and "OFF" in accordance with whatever Patches are called for in each Combination.
For this example, turn the VALUE knob until F005 shows on the top line of the Information
Center Display:
Notice the ORGAN ALLOCATE button has turned "OFF" and the PIANO button has turned
"ON." The PIANO Patch will now sound from the UPPER Keyboard.
3. From the display shown above, turn the VALUE knob until F061 shows on the top line of the
Information Center Display:
Notice the PIANO ALLOCATE button has turned "OFF" and the ENSEMBLE button has turned
"ON." The ENSEMBLE Patch will now sound from the UPPER Keyboard.
