Section 3—Instruments and Banks EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual
This prompt is informing you that an instrument or song saved as part of the bank
is on a different disk than the disk currently in the drive. When this occurs:
• Eject the current disk in the disk drive and replace it with the disk that matches
the Disk Label ID requested by the EPS-16 PLUS (you are writing these names
on your disks, aren't you?). For more information on Disk Label identification
see Section 2 — System Control and Section 11 — Storage.
• Press Enter. The EPS-16 PLUS will resume loading until completed, or until
the point when it needs another disk.
• When it has finished loading the instruments, the EPS-16 PLUS will load the
song (if any) and then set up any copied instruments included in the bank.
Performance Presets
Once you have a number of instruments loaded into the EPS-16 PLUS, there are
so many possible combinations for selecting, stacking, mixing, and manipulating
the ranges of those instruments that it can get a bit hard to manage in real-time
performance. That is where performance presets come in.
For each bank you save, you can create eight performance presets which allow
you to store different keyboard configurations. By selecting a performance preset
you can instantly recreate the state of the "pile" at the time the preset was created.
Within each preset, the following information is saved for instant recall:
• Which instruments are selected, de-selected, or stacked (on the "pile" in LOAD
mode).
• The status of the patch select buttons for each Instrument•Track.
• The Volume (Mix Level) of each Instrument•Track.
• The pan setting of each Instrument•Track.
• The MIDI program number of each instrument (as selected on the
EDIT/Instrument page).
• The Transpose and Key Range settings found on the EDIT/Pitch page.
When the EPS-16 PLUS is in LOAD mode, with the LOAD indicator not
flashing, pressing the buttons numbered 1-8 (in the page section of the front
panel) will select the eight performance presets.
Remember: When the LOAD indicator is flashing, the display is showing you disk files for
loading. When the LOAD indicator is lit but not flashing the display is showing
you the name(s) of the of instruments in the internal memory.
Additional Notes About Performance Presets
• Pressing "0" will de-select all the instruments in memory and return them to the
original settings for Range, Transpose, Volume, etc. which were in effect when
they were loaded (or most recently saved to disk). You can press "0" at any
time (whether a preset is in effect or not) to return all you instruments to their
"starting points."
• If you save an instrument to disk while a preset is in effect, all the current
