SoundSprint

SoundSprint

SoundSprint is a special mode used to load presets quickly and automatically within a folder as you browse through them. Presets are loaded in the background while the keyboard remains active with the last preset. Loading time varies with the size of the preset, but most presets load in one to three seconds.

Presets loaded via SoundSprint are placed at the top of the bank memory and are assigned preset numbers 990-999.

You can load up to ten SoundSprint presets in RAM and these can be selected instantly. Once you load more than 10, the oldest Sprint preset is erased. SoundSprint will not overwrite a preset that has been loaded in the conventional manner and a “Memory Full” message will be displayed. See “Soundsprint™” on page 376 for additional information.

The Bank

The bank contains samples, voices, presets and sequences. Everything that is loaded into the Emulator is part of the bank. Although the memory is volatile, meaning that the data disappears when you turn off power, all bank data can be saved permanently to a hard disk drive or other media. The number of samples that can be loaded into a bank at once is dependent on the amount of sample RAM you have installed in your Emulator.

Folders

Just like on a computer, folders help keep banks organized. A folder can contain up to 100 banks (0-99). You can use folders to organize your sound banks by including all the banks used for a particular project in a folder. The number of folders in a disk depends on the size of the disk. As an example, a one gigabyte hard disk can hold up to 96 folders.
