Sounds
BANKS 4 - 16
These are the “core” sounds of the SK760/880SE,
where you will find a wide selection of typical syn-
thesizer sounds, authentic reproductions of tra-
ditional orchestral instruments and more. Many
of these sounds are further enhanced by appro-
priate effects, typical of the instrument’s playing
style, being assigned to either velocity or
aftertouch.
All the Sounds can be freely edited and stored
as new sounds. The 16 Banks of each family
provides ample room for all your programmed
work.
DRUM KITS AND DRUM SOUNDS
The Drum Kits family, called PERCUSSIVE, in-
cludes just about every type of drum kit you could
imagine - from jazz to rock, orchestra to techno
and beyond.
Just like the sounds, the individual drum sounds
can be freely edited and stored to the empty lo-
cations of the 16 Banks of the Percussive family.
They can then be stored as new sounds, either
for individual use or for incorporating into the drum
kits.
Because the SK760/880SE has well over 1000
factory sounds as standard, these sounds have
been divided into 16 families, making it easier to
find the right type of sounds quickly and easily.
The families are organized into 16 Instrument
Groups of the SOUND GROUPS section (Piano,
Chrom, Organ, etc.) and each Group is further
subdivided into 16 Banks, each capable of con-
taining up to 8 sounds (128 Sounds per family).
GMX BANKS 1, 2 AND 3
GMX is a standard set of sounds which are in-
cluded in every Generalmusic product. The first
GMX bank, (Bank 1) of the Sound Groups sec-
tion contains the industry standard General MIDI
sound library. This family is designed to be used
when the SK760/880SE is required to play Gen-
eral MIDI song disks or when the instrument is
being controlled by a computer program or some
other device which requires a General MIDI sound
library.
The second and third GMX banks, (Bank 2 & 3)
contain 256 sounds taken from Generalmusic’s
own extensive sound library. These sounds,
along with the 128 sounds in Bank 1, ensure com-
patibility with Generalmusic’s own song library,
and also with song disks created on other
Generalmusic instruments.
