important background information on how to create your own cus-
tom presets.
Your initial involvement with Orbit will most likely consist of using
the existing presets and selecting MIDI channels. While the factory
presets are very good, there are probably some things you would like
to change, perhaps the LFO speed, the filter cutoff or the attack time.
You may also want to make your own custom presets using complex
modulation routings. There are 256 user locations (Banks 0 & 1)
available to store your own creations or edited factory presets. Best of
all, it’s easy to edit or create new presets using the edit menu.

Presets can be made up of both a primary and secondary instrument.
Presets can also be “linked” with up to 3 additional presets to create
layering or splits.
Presets can also be “linked” with up to 3 additional presets to create
layering or splits.
One way to create a keyboard split is assign an instrument to a specific
range and then link it to other presets which fill in the empty keys.
Using a combination of 4 linked presets and the primary and second-
ary instrument ranges, up to 8 keyboard splits can be produced. If
linked presets overlap on the same keyboard range, the presets will be
doubled or stacked.

These diagrams show how keyboard splits and layers can be created by linking presets.
Remember that each preset can consist of both a primary and secondary instrument.
