Selecting Single Sounds

3.Select a Bank containing the desired Sound us- ing the PAGE+/BANK+ or PAGE–/BANK– but- tons.

Each Group can contain up to 3 banks. The Bank number corresponds to the BankSelect MSB (CC00) MIDI message.

Bank 1 sounds are General MIDI compatible, while Banks 2 and 3 contain variations of Bank 1. Banks 2 and 3 of the Percussive Sound group contain Drumkits.

▶Note: PS1500 houses 16 Drumkits in memory (Banks 2 and 3). Consult the Drumkit tables in the Appendix for the relative percussive sound mappings.

4.Select the desired Sound or Drumkit with the Function button.

The selected Sound is assigned to the se- lected track (flashing). The display returns to normal.

▶Note: If a Sound is not selected from the selection window within the first 2/3 seconds, the display returns to the previous situation automati- cally.

▶Note: You cannot assign a Sound to a keyboard section that is not selected (flashing).

▶IMPORTANT: A Drumkit must be assigned to a keyboard section active to play across the full keyboard (Upper 1 or 2 in Single or Dual mode).

5.Play on the keyboard.

Play and repeat the selection procedure to listen to other sounds.

If you assign a Drumkit to Upper 1 or Upper 2, you’ll hear a different drum sound for each note played. If other keyboard sections are active, mute them to hear the drum sounds alone.

▶Note: To avoid the closure of the selection window each time you select a Sound, press

DISPLAY HOLD.
