Programming Tutorial

There is so much you can do with the Xtreme Lead it’s impossible to

describe it all. This chapter is will give you some ideas for programming

your own custom sounds and contains step-by-step instructions to help

you get started. In order to get the most from this chapter, we recommend

you actually try each example. Have fun!

Editing

Presets

One of the easiest ways to make a new preset is to edit an existing preset.

This is also an excellent way of becoming familiar with Xtreme Lead. If you

don’t like what you hear, simply select a new preset, then Xtreme Lead

reverts to the original sound. Changes are not permanent until you Save

them (see “Saving a Preset” on page 191).

Let’s experiment and modify a few parameters of an existing preset. We’ll

start with functions that have an obvious effect on the sound:

Instrument Select, Tuning, and Chorus.

Changing the

Instrument

Changing the instrument is the easiest and most dramatic way to modify

an existing preset.

þ To Change the Instrument for the Current Layer

1. Choose any cool preset, then press the Edit button.

2. Scroll through the Edit menu until you come to the Instrument page.

3. Move the cursor down to the bottom line (using a Cursor button).

4. Use the Data Entry Control to change the instrument. This changes the

instrument for the current layer (in this case it’s L1).

5. Play the keyboard as you scroll through the various instruments.
