Re: [prophet2000] Re: Problem with built in sounds

2009-05-05 by Henrik

I also tried to figure out how to make the built in presets work. On my p2k I can hear 12 presets. Some of them are layered sounds, some have kbd split in two sounds and some presets numbers contain the same sound.

When I tried what you describe hear (to press the Execute in "sound number" mode so that a dot appears), there´s no sound in the upper third of the keyboard. Without the dot there´s sound on the entire keyboard. How do I get it to work?

I´m shure that I´m going to like this cryptics the day I understand them :D

ok, i haven't read the entire manual yet, but i have came to a section telling that the presets should work right off. that's when i jumped and tried them, and not having them all work made me think something was bad. i guess i figured that the presets themselves couldn't be overwritten and were stored on the rom permanently along with the waveforms themselves.

so, i have done as you suggested and the sounds worked! but, i only have 1-8 working, not 1-16 as you say you have. maybe a difference in the models? i confess i do need to read the rest of the manual, but i have actually looked for this info and didn't find much about it.

at any rate, thanks for your help.
