INT-A...INT-D

With the factory settings, these banks contain a wide variety of preloaded programs that use the internal PCM ROM multisamples, effects, and arpeggio pat- terns.

INT-E

This bank is used to store programs that you created, for example from samples that you created.

INT-F

This can be selected only if the EXB-MOSS option is installed. If the option is not installed, INT-F cannot be selected.

G, g(1)...g(9), g(d)

These banks contain 128 capital programs, 128 varia- tion programs, and 9 drum programs, all compatible with the GM sound map. The programs of these banks are all read-only. These programs are preset programs. Each time you press the [G] key, the bank will change in the following order.

G→ g(1)→ g(2)→ g(3)→ g(4)→ g(5)→ g(6)→ g(7)→ g(8)→ g(9)→ g(d)→ G...

(The LED will light, and the corresponding bank G, g(1)–g(9), g(d) will be displayed in the upper left of the LCD screen.)

EXB-A...EXB-G

With the factory settings, these banks do not contain programs. These banks are used to load programs for the EXB-PCM series options, or they can be used to hold programs that you create.

128 programs can be written or rewritten to each bank INT-A–INT-E, EXB-A–EXB-G (for a total of 1,536).
