Orbit V2 Operation Manual4
ORBIT ARCHITECTURE
Orbit is organized as shown in the diagram below.
The Preset is a complete set of all program parameters for a complete
Orbit sound. The fully programmable user presets and the unalterable
ROM presets are organized into five banks of 128 presets each.
BANKS 0 & 1 USER PRESETS
BANKS 2 - 4 ROM PRESETS
Each preset consists of one or more instruments. An instrument is a
complete set of samples or a digital waveform which covers the entire
keyboard range. An instrument can be assigned to each of the Primary
and Secondary layers of the preset.
The primary and secondary layers are essentially two complete sounds
stacked or placed adjacent to each other, which can be switched or
crossfaded together in various ways.
Up to four presets can be Linked in order to have more than one preset
on the keyboard at a time. The linked presets may overlap each other
for layered sounds or be adjacent to each other to create keyboard
“splits”.
• User Presets can be
moved, erased or modified as
desired.
• ROM Presets cannot be
moved or altered unless they
are first copied to a user
location.
