SOUND BANKS
The PK5 Oriental Sounds are organised in SOUND BANKS which are accessed by
pressing the both + and – buttons of the selection keypad at the same time.
Each bank contains 128 Sounds (except Bank 3); those of Bank 1 are compatible with
General MIDI standards.
PK5 Oriental has 2 banks of 128 Sounds, the first containing GM Sounds. The Drumkits
are in Bank 2 (112-119).
A third Bank is also available; this contains only two groups of Oriental Sounds and an
Arabic Drumkit (Arabkit). This bank, when selected, is displayed as Bank 3 but via
MIDI, it corresponds to MIDI Bank 4.
To assign a Drumkit to one of the keyboard sections, use the same operation as described
for the Sound assignment. To assign the Arabkit, use the direct method, pressing the
corresponding button in the SOUNDS section.
If you are using the selection keypad, remember to select BANK 2 by pressing both the –
/+ buttons at the same time before specifying the relative Drumkit Program Change number.
To select Oriental Sounds or the ArabKit using the keypad, remember that these sounds
are in Bank 3. Refer to the Sound maps in the Appendix at the back of the manual.
The current SOUND BANK number is shown in the display zone in the extreme bottom
right hand corner.
