2.Press the Preset Edit button. The following screen appears.

In this preset, Voice 1 is a multisample. The samples contained in the multisample are listed below it. The volume, pan position, coarse and fine tuning, transpose and original keys can be adjusted from this screen.

3.Press the Next Page button. The arrow next to it is illuminated, indicating that there is another page of information. The Key Window appears.

The keyboard assignments of the multisample and the samples it contains are shown graphically.

Press the Down cursor button repeatedly to view the keyboard assignment of the other voices.

4.Press the Next Page button to go to the Velocity Window. The velocity window allows you to switch or fade samples and voices according to key velocity.

See “Velocity Window Controls” on page 300 for detailed information about the Velocity Window.

Overview

The Master Module commands affect the Emulator on a global basis (all presets). Master operations affect overall tuning, LCD contrast and Master Effects to name a few. All of the settings defined in the Master Menu (with the exception of a few of the Sequencer settings) are saved into Flash RAM when you exit the module, meaning the settings are stored even when you turn off the unit.

This chapter describes the global settings, features and commands you can carry out using the Master Menu. The sections in this chapter are organized by submenu as they appear in the Master Menu.

The Master Menu contains six main submenus:

Utilities. Controls for the assignable keys, test tones and volume control recalibration. Also contains the channel status indicator, credits and software version display.

Bank. Allows you to name or erase the bank and set a bank to be autoloaded on power-up. If you have Flash RAM or Flash ROM installed, the Bank submenu contains the Flash Utilities also.

Setup. Contains six submenus: Tune, Input/Output, Miscellaneous, SCSI, Import and Memory Configuration.

FX. Contains the digital effect processor functions.

Sequence Manage. Contains a 48-track sequencer.

MIDI. Contains global MIDI controls, velocity curve and other miscellaneous MIDI functions.
