Vintage Keys Operation Manual 197
Preset Programming
There are so many differnt ways to use Vintage Keys that it would be impos-
sible to describe them all. This chapter will get you started and hopefully
give you a few ideas for programming your own custom sounds. In order to
learn the most from this chapter, we recommend that you actually try each
example.
Editing Presets One of the easiest ways to make a new preset is to edit an existing preset.
This is also an excellent way of becoming familiar with Vintage Keys. If you
don’t like what you hear, simply select a new preset, then Vintage Keys
reverts to the original sound. Changes are not permanent until you Save
them (see “Saving a Preset” on page 187).
Let’s experiment and modify a few parameters of an existing preset. We’ll
start with functions that have an obvious effect on the sound: Instrument
Select, Tuning, and Chorus.
Changing the
Instrument
Changing the instrument is the easiest and most dramatic way to modify
an existing preset.
To Change the Instrument for the Current Layer:
1. Choose any cool preset, then press the Preset Edit button.
2. Press the #1 Jump button twice to jump directly to the Instrument
page. See “Preset Menu Jump Keys” on page 36.

Buttons are located in the
“Command Functions” section
of the front panel.
3. Move the cursor down to the bottom line (using a Cursor button).
4. Use the Channel button to turn select the various layers. Use the data
entry control to turn OFF all layers except L1. This allows you to hear
the different instruments by themselves.
5. Play the keyboard as you scroll through the various instruments.
