Create Your Own Custom Bank
Merge the Preset
10. When you have found a preset you want to include, Right-click over it in the Tree
and select Merge from the menu (or press “M” on your computer keyboard). The
preset is added to the current bank.
Another Method of Merging Presets
11. Simply click (left mouse button) and drag the preset over the Emulator X icon at
the top of the tree. The cursor changes to a plus sign as you pass over the icon.
Release the mouse button and a pop-up progress bar will inform you that the
preset is being loaded.
12. If you change your mind and don’t want to merge the preset after all, choose Undo
from the Edit menu to un-merge the preset.
Continue to Create the Bank
13. Continue to add presets to your new bank.
14. Save the bank when you are satisfied.
Alternate Method using the Librarian to find Presets
1. Select the Library Tab instead of the System Tab in step 3 above.
2. If you haven’t done so already, Update the Library.
3. Choose presets from the Library, then drag and drop them on top of the Emulator
X icon at the top of the tree.
To Audition and Merge Samples
Samples can also be auditioned and merged.
Locate the Samples Folder
1. Locate the Samples folder, just below the Presets folder you just opened.
2. Click on the Emulator X icon in the Tree to view the Multisetup page.
Audition
3. Select a Sample from the Tree and press the Space Bar on your computer
keyboard. The sample is auditioned from the hard disk.
4. Press the Space Bar again to Stop auditioning.
5. You can also audition samples by Right-clicking over the sample and selecting
Audition. Right-click and select Stop Audition to silence audition.
Merge the Samples
6. Right-click over the sample in the Tree and select Merge from the menu (or press
“M” on your computer keyboard). The sample is added to the current bank.
7. You can also drag and drop a sample over the Emulator X icon to merge it into the
bank. These “free” samples will have to be assigned to voices in a preset before they
can be played.
8. If you change your mind and don’t want to merge the sample after all, choose
Undo from the Edit menu (or press Ctrl+Z) to un-merge the sample.
Samples that reside in
.E4B or .EXB disk files can
be auditioned from disk.
