Presets

Style Preset

112 Presets associated to the Styles and User Styles and stored in the STYLE GROUPS (Style/ Song Groups section: Swing, Country, Rock, etc., User 1-8, User 9-16). Style-Presets assign sounds to the auto-accompaniments and key- board that suit the Style to which they are asso- ciated. If the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY LED is on, the keyboard Sounds can be changed. The User Styles are progammable.

Song/Style Preset

8 Presets associated to the Song/Styles and stored in the SONG/STYLE GROUP (Style/Song Groups). Song/Style Presets assign sounds to the auto-accompaniments and keyboard and re- call the chords that trigger the auto-accompani- ments.

For editing purposes, Song/Style Presets can- not be accessed from the PROGRAMMABLE PRESETS; they are accessed by pressing the PRESET button in the EDIT section. A modified Song/Style Preset can be saved to any of the 7 Song/Style slots available in memory.

Song Preset

Song-Presets can combine up to 16 sounds. They can be applied to two types of operating mode: the assignment of a sound to each track of the sequencer, or the reception via MIDI of 16 different parts.

For editing purposes, Song Presets cannot be accessed from the PROGRAMMABLE PRE- SETS; they are accessed by pressing the PRE- SET button in the EDIT section. A modified Song Preset can be saved to any of the 7 Song slots available in memory.

The Presets via MIDI?.........

Via MIDI, the Programmable Presets are a source of 16 Sounds, regardless of the status of the in- strument. The Grand Piano Preset, however, cannot be selected via MIDI and does not trans- mit MIDI data. You can, however, save the Grand Piano Preset situation to a Programmable Pre- set then select the Preset via MIDI.

Whenever you enter «Edit Preset», you will al- ways have access to 16 tracks. If you are pro- gramming PS1500 for Preset or Style modes, the configuration of tracks 9-16 does not influence either playing mode, but if you are programming PS1500 for use as a multitimbral slave device, all 16 tracks are taken into consideration and the programmed configurations memorized to the Presets will be recalled as programmed. There- fore, you can program all 16 tracks of your Pre- sets, regardless of how you intend using them
