PRESET MODE
Preset Mode is always active unless you activate another mode. When you
leave one of the other modes, you will always be sent back to Preset Mode.
Preset Mode is signaled by a lit LED just to the right of the PRESET button
on the front panel.
PRESET PARAMETERS
These parameters contain all the settings that relate to individual presets. A
preset is a playing environment that you determine, saved and easily
retrievable, with the flexibility and complexity to give you total control
over playing and sound characteristics. You can program, save and recall
up to 128 complex presets. How complex a preset is, is something you
determine. Each of these presets can have its own set of effects, selected
from a copious list, as well as its own set of playing parameters.
RECALLING PRESETS
Use the +/- Value buttons to cycle through your presets. Use an optional
MIDI foot controller.
INSTRUMENT TUNER
In the default setting (see UTILITY MODE, DISPLAY) the bottom half of
the display shows a tuner that monitors your instrument as you play to
insure correct tuning. It is important that your instrument is tuned within a
certain tolerance so that your ZETA SYNTHONY II will send the proper
MIDI pitch information to your MIDI instruments. Tune every string so
that the meter pointer is directly over the arrow in the middle of the scale.
As long as the Tune Base Parameter is set to “0”, the arrow in the middle of
the scale represents a standard tuning of 440 Hz. There may be reasons for
changing this basic tuning standard, for example if you want to play with
an acoustic piano that is somewhat under the pitch (see Global Parameters,
TUNE BASE). In this case
you can tell the ZETA SYNTHONY II to orient itself to the tuning of your
instrument, giving you a new standard. In this case the arrow in the middle
of the tuning scale represents the new tuning standard.
