User manual ART SGX 2000 EXPRESS

[. . . ] OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SGX 2000 EXPRESS ADDENDUM TO THE SGX 2000 REFERENCE MANUAL A. R. T. has increased the power of the SGX 2000 by 400% and kept the ease of use factor unchanged. There are some variations between the two units which will be explained in this addendum. Included in the EXPRESS are: * Hundreds of new presets! [. . . ] PRESET SLOTS First of all there are 200 preset "slots" in the SGX 2000 EXPRESS. Each slot may hold a preset permanently in RAM if you store it there. If you store a preset in "slot 1", every time you access preset 1 in any bank, the preset you stored in "slot 1" will be present. Obviously you may not want that to happen. What we suggest is to first listen to all the presets in the SGX 2000 EXPRESS and write down the bank and preset number of the presets you like and think you will use on a separate sheet of paper. Now, it's time to store those presets into slots which will not copy over factory presets. As an added precaution to overwriting factory presets, there is a "Lock" utility which you can turn on or off. See the Utility section in the main reference manual for more information. We suggest you start storing your presets beginning with slot 200 and working down. While in preset mode, find a preset in whichever bank you are in, press the Edit button, use the Encoder to select a memory slot, (the numeric display will start flashing the preset number) press the Store button. You have now stored the preset into that memory slot. If no changes were made, the bank designator letter will indicate 5 which bank the preset came from. If you modified a preset or created one from scratch, the bank designator letter will change to a "U" indicating the preset is your work. If the preset location was blank, the LCD will look like: BLANK PRESET <no effects> NOTE: If you store any preset over an existing factory preset in any bank, that preset will overwrite each existing factory preset in each bank!We suggest you start storing your presets starting with slot 200 and working down. WHERE DID THE PRESET COME FROM If you juggle and shift presets around as well as making your own and then store them in user memory slots, you may lose track of which preset number in the bank you chose. In the Utility Mode, there is an easy way to find out where the preset came from. At any time, press the Edit button, and then the Utility button. You will see a display in the LCD which looks like: OPEN SLOT = 19 USER RAM (U) = 19 BANK A, # 91 = 19 or SLOT or SLOT The first window indicates no preset is stored into the memory slot and it is "open", ready to have information stored into it. In the second window, the display indicates a user preset (a preset you created) is stored into that memory slot location. The last display indicates preset 91 from bank "A" is stored in memory slot 198. RECALLING A FACTORY PRESET If you store over a factory preset memory slot, you do not lose the four factory presets in that location forever. [. . . ] So, to detune A440 to A435 you would set the Detune parameter to [-0. 20]. To detune a full half step, set the Detune parameter to = [1. 00] (plus or minus). Level sets the signal output level of the Tuner in a preset. TUNER NOTES: 1) If you do not wish anyone to hear you tune up when you realize you're out of tune, set the Tuner Level and the ANFX level of the Mix to [0%] in the preset. [. . . ]
