DISK HANDLING
Disks are delicate and store valuable data. Before proceeding, carefully read GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS 2 (“Disk Handling”) for important information on how to care for your disks.
LOADING A PERFORMANCE DISK WHEN EMAX IS FIRST TURNED ON
1. After completing step 7 in INSTANT GRATIFICATION, the display will say “Please Insert Disk.”
Insert the Arco Strings disk into the drive according to the instructions given in the next to last
section of GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 2 (“Disk Handling”).
2. After about 25 seconds of loading time, the display will show the Current Preset number and
name (the cursor will flash underneath the first digit). Start playing the keyboard and adjust the
VOLUME slider for a comfortable listening level.
SELECTING DIFFERENT PRESETS
1. The Bank you just loaded contains several Presets. To call up a new Current Preset, use the
keypad underneath the display. Note that “leading zeroes” must be entered for Preset numbers
(i.e. type 0 and 2, not just 2, to call up Preset 02). Now type 0 then 2 on the keypad; these will
replace the numbers indicated by the flashing cursor.
2. The display says P02 NarrowStereo. Play the keyboard . . . hey, check out those string sounds!
3. Now call up more Presets (refer to GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 1, “Selecting the Current
Preset,”). If you enter a number for which there is no Preset, the display will list the entered
Preset number and say “Empty Preset”; try again.
4. To scroll through the Presets available in the bank, move the data slider. The various Preset
names will scroll on the lower display line. When this line shows the desired Preset, press
ENTER to make that the Current Preset. This is an alternative Preset selection method.
5. Increment or decrement the Current Preset (as displayed in the top line) with the CURSOR
buttons. This method is useful for live performance--arrange your Presets in the desired order,
and step through them as needed.
When you’re ready to check out some more sounds, proceed.
