EDITING PRESETS

The easiest way to make a new preset is to edit an existing preset. This
is also an excellent way of becoming familiar with Vintage Keys. If you
don't like what you hear, simply change the preset and Vintage Keys
reverts back to the original sound. Changes are not made permanent
until you Save them using the "SAVE PRESET" function, which is the
last screen in the Edit menu. Let's experiment and modify a few pa-
rameters of an existing preset. We'll start with functions that have an
obvious effect on the sound: Instrument Select, Coarse Tuning,
Chorus and Reverse Sound.
First, choose a preset that strikes your fancy and press the Edit button.
• Changing the Instrument
This is probably the easiest and most dramatic way to modify an
existing preset. Scroll through the Edit menu functions until you come
to:
Move the cursor down to the bottom line (using the cursor button)
and change the primary instrument with the data entry control. Play
the keyboard as you scroll through the various instruments. When
you find an interesting instrument, move the cursor back up to the
first line and select:
Repeat the process for the secondary instrument. Find an instrument
that sounds good when combined with the first one you selected. You
can probably see that with all these great instruments to work with,
you really can't go wrong. Now let's play with the tuning.
