The Patch List Screen in Depth
The Patch List Screens
There are actually several Patch List screens—the one you want depends on
what kind of sound it is you're looking to play on the keyboard. Getting to
the right Patch List screen's always the first step.
Navigating to the Desired Patch List Screen
On the Single Play screen, select the Part Group parameter, and

•
Internal— to select patches, rhythm sets, and sample sets from
ROM or stored in the currently loaded project.
•
EXP1 or EXP 2— to select patches or rhythm sets from an installed
ARX board.
•
External— to select sounds in an external MIDI module.
Click F1 (Patch List) to display the desired Patch List screen.
