Native Instruments B4 II - Manual (Page 41)

B4 II – 41
Up : Loads the previous preset on the list.
Down : Loads the next preset on the list.
Store: Immediately stores the current setting in the current preset and
overwrites it.
The
Preset View gives you more controls for handling presets and is described
in the next section of this manual.
Using Presets
The B4 puts a broad range of organ sounds at your fingertips, giving you rapid
access to a library of 120 presets, divided into 10 banks of 12 presets each.
Individual preset hold the drawbar settings and every other user adjustable
parameter that defines the instrument´s sound.
Manual View
In the Manual View, presets can be selected by hitting one of the “reverse
image” keys – the keys on the left side of the keyboard that have black naturals
and white accidentals. Presets selected from the upper manual change the
settings for the entire instrument. Presets selected from the lower manual
only change the lower manual and the pedal drawbars. Selecting a preset will
immediately move the drawbars to the stored setting.
Note: Unlike the B3, there is no “Cancel” preset. On the B3, the Cancel
preset allowed direct manipulation of the drawbars to determine the
sound of the organ. With the B4, the drawbars are always active, they
reflect the sound of the current preset and are always editable.
Banks are selected using the Bank Select Control on the “wooden” end block
of the upper manual. Selecting a new bank will immediately change the
preset in use, and therefore change the drawbars to match the newly selected
preset.
