PX-7 Owners Manual 297

Preset Programming

There is so much you can do with the PX-7 it’s impossible to describe it all.

This chapter is will give you a few 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.

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 PX-7. If you don’t

like what you hear, simply select a new preset, then PX-7 reverts to the

original sound. Changes are not permanent until you Save them (see

“Saving a Preset” on page 286).

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.

 To Change the Instrument for the Current Layer

1. Press the Preset View button and choose any cool preset.

2. Press the Preset Edit button.

3. Press the #1 Jump button twice to jump directly to the Instrument

page. See “Preset Menu Jump Keys” on page 39.

The Preset Edit Jump

Buttons are located in the

“Command Functions” section

of the front panel.

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

5. Use the data entry control to change the instrument. This changes the

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