I need some help with some acronyms.  I know that this will not make 
my beat making any better, but I hope it will help me understand the 
unit better.  So any help would be great.

here it goes:

BTS = 
MSB = 
LSB = 

I guess that is for now, I may have more later on.

thank you in advance.

Suggested addendum:

BTS (1) a prefix used by E-Mu (one of several e-music gear 
manufacturers) for patches (presets, in E-Mu terminology) optimized 
for being played with E-Mu's amazing beats functionality found in 
gear based on their Proteus 2000 synth engine with either OS 2.26 (12-
controller based gear)or OS 2.0 (16 controller-based gear). (2) the 
preset itself, usually containing 4 differerent layers zoned across a 
keyboard map. For example, L1 may be a SFX (Special Effects) ROM 
Instrument assigned to the keyboard range C-2 through A#0, L2 may be 
a KIT (drum kit)ROM Instrument assigned to the keyboard range B0 
through B3, L3 may be a BAS (Bass) ROM Instrument assigned to the 
keyboard range C4 through B5, and L4 may be a STR (string) ROM 
Instrument assigned to the keyboard range C6 through G8. (3) a prefix 
used by E-Mu to designate special audition riffs optimized for E-Mu's 
beats functionality.  See Beats.

NOTE: The BTS prefix may be selected alphabetically when using E-Mu's 
built-in preset navigator. In preset edit mode BTS riffs are 
alphabetically navigable.

I spotted some inconsistent use of terminology in the following 
links, but the basic concepts are (I believe) sound.  I hope it helps 
with some practical insights into how to use MSB #s.
