KITS AND SOUNDS

SOUND MANAGER can be regarded as a more powerful variant of the SOUND BROWSER. Here Sounds can

be saved, loaded, tagged et cetera. Opening the menu will show a list of all Sounds residing in either the +Drive

Sound library or the Sound pool. Scroll the list by turning the LEVEL knob or by pressing [UP]/[DOWN].

Pressing [LEFT] will access the SORTING menu. The available commands are the same as those found in the

SORTING menu of the SOUND BROWSER. Read more about the SORTING menu on page 22.

Pressing [RIGHT] will access the SOUND OPERATIONS menu. The available operations will affect the cur-

rently highlighted Sound. Press [YES/SAVE] to apply the commands to the selected Sound. Press [NO/

RELOAD] or the [LEFT] arrow key to exit the menu.

LOAD TO TRACK loads the selected Sound to the active track and makes it a part of the

active kit.

COPY TO POOL copies the selected Sounds to the first free slots of the active project Sound

pool. This command is only available when browsing the +Drive Sound library.

COPY TO +DRIVE copies the selected Sounds to the first free slots of the +Drive Sound

library. This command is only available when browsing the Sound pool of the active project.

STORE TRACK SOUND saves the active track Sound to the selected slot. [YES/SAVE] +

[KEYBOARD D1] offers a short cut to this operation.

RENAME will rename the selected Sound.

EDIT TAGS opens a menu where Sounds can be tagged. Sounds can have any number of

tags, but only the two first will be shown in the Sound list. Apply or remove tags by pressing

[YES/SAVE].

DELETE will delete the Sound.

TOGGLE will enable or disable write protection for the selected Sounds. When a Sound is

write protected it cannot be overwritten, renamed, tagged or deleted.

SEND SYSEX sends the selected Sounds as SysEx data.

SELECT ALL selects all Sounds in the list.

DESELECT ALL deselects all Sounds in the list.
