E-Mu orbit v2 Manuale Utente

Chapter 6: Step-By-Step

This section contains step-by-step instructions on how to get started in
programming your own custom sounds. It is recommended that you
actually try each example on the Orbit unit, rather than just reading
through. The best way to learn something is by actually doing it.

Linking presets is a quick and easy way to create new sounds by “layer-
ing” presets and also to “split” a keyboard into sections containing
different sounds.

1) Select the first preset you wish to layer.

2) Press the Edit button.

3) Use the data entry control to move through the screens until you

find one of the “LINK” screens.

4) Move the cursor to the second line of the display, then select the

preset that you want to be linked with this preset. You may want
to play the keyboard as you scroll through the various presets in
order to hear the results.

5) If you want the link to be a permanent part of the preset, be sure

to “SAVE PRESET”. Otherwise, simply change the preset to erase
your work.

1) Follow steps 1 through 4 above.

2) Now set the range of the linked preset while still in the LINK

menu.

3) Save the preset.

4) Now go back to the first preset, press the Edit button and use the

data entry control to move through the screens to KEY RANGE.

5) Set the range of this preset so that it fills the remaining range of

your keyboard.

6) Save the preset.
