KITS AND SOUNDS

SOUND MENU

In this menu individual Sounds are managed. Open the menu by pressing [FUNCTION] + [KEYBOARD D1].
Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to move between the commands. Press [YES/SAVE] to confirm your
selection. Exit the menu by pressing [NO/RELOAD].
LOAD TRACK SOUND opens a menu where one of the up to 128 saved Sounds can be loaded. The Sound will
be loaded to the active synth track and become a part of the active kit. When the menu is opened the Sound list
will appear.
Select the Sound to be loaded using the [ARROW] keys or the LEVEL knob. [LEFT]/[RIGHT] will quickly scroll
between the menu pages. Once a Sound has been selected, press [YES/SAVE] to load it. Preview a sound by
highlighting it and pressing the [KEYBOARD] keys. The Sound will be played through the active track. Please
note that if the previewed Sound is routed through the effects, the current effects settings will affect it.
SAVE TRACK SOUND is where the PARAMETER page settings of the active synth track can be saved as a
Sound.
CLEAR TRACK SOUND will initialize the currently loaded Sound. When selecting this option a prompt will
appear. Press [YES/SAVE] to clear the Sound or [NO/RELOAD] to cancel the operation. Note that no Sound
information will be permanently lost until the Sound is saved to the same slot it was loaded from.
RENAME SOUND opens a NAMING menu where the Sound of the active track can be renamed.
SOUND SETTINGS opens a menu where various Sound related settings are found. Use the [UP]/[DOWN]
arrow keys or the LEVEL knob to scroll in the menu. Use the [LEFT]/[RIGHT] arrow keys to change the set-
tings.
OSCILLATOR DRIFT will when activated introduce a very subtle pitch drift to the oscillators,
which can increase their perceived "warmth".
LEGATO MODE can turned either off or on. When the mode is activated, envelopes will not
be retrigged for overlapping notes played manually on the [KEYBOARD] keys or incoming
MIDI notes trigging Sounds. Note that notes on the sequencer are not affected.
PORTAMENTO will when active make the pitch slide between notes. The settings only affect
notes played manually on the [KEYBOARD] keys or incoming MIDI notes trigging Sounds.
Notes on the sequencer will not be affected. For sliding sequencer notes, the NOTE SLIDE
menu, covered on page 26, is used.
