ENHANCED USER INTERFACE
PRESET BANKS, WHAT'S IN THEM
When hundreds of presets are available in a device, you must make it effortless to access
them all, as well as group them, in an intelligent fashion. A.R.T. has created "banks" of
presets to supply you with every possible need. Four banks of factory presets, with a total
of 475 patches, have been created for the SGX 2000 EXPRESS. The first bank, titled
CLASSIC and designated by the letter "A", contains 125 instant use presets for the
guitar. In bank two, the "B" bank, you will find 116 PERFORMANCE presets. These
presets emulate guitar sounds as you would hear them on the radio from various types of
artists and also through different types of amplifiers. Bank "C", the third bank is the
PRODUCTION bank of the SGX 2000 EXPRESS. This bank contains 111 patches you
would use in a studio/recording situation. The last bank "D", CONTRIBUTION, contains
123 patches created by recording engineers and artists worldwide.
Bank "A" CLASSIC
We've put together a small sample of the multitudes of sound capabilities the SGX 2000
EXPRESS has waiting inside for you to experience! The first 40 presets start off with
ripping lead (1-10) patches and acoustic/clean lead (11-20) patches. Presets 21-22 feature
the Digital tuner. The first one is silent, allowing you to tune in private, and the second
one is set up to automatically detect the string you are tuning and put out a tone of that
frequency through your amp! Even if you don't need an "E", perhaps someone without an
SGX 2000 EXPRESS does! X-15 ready patches (23-28) show off just what the SGX
2000 Express is capable of when used with the ART X-15 MIDI Controller pedal. To
finish off the tour, there are ten semi-dirt, lead/rockin' rhythm patches (29-40).
It doesn't stop there, starting at preset 41 and continuing to preset 75 are 35 more guitar
solo lead patches! Everything from overdriven ripping lead sounds, "effected" leads,
milder dirty leads to "clean" (no distortion!) lead patches. Don't limit these to just lead
patches, there are other ways for you to decide how to use them. Starting with preset 76,
rhythm, chunka chunka, dirt, grunge, overdrive, semi-overdriven, and yes, even clean
patches are all contained in the group up to preset 109. Be sure to check out presets 101-
115 for some outrageous effects! Buried guitar leads, various wah-wah tremolo,
sampling, pitch shifting, delay, panning
and phasing are all featured here. Not enough?,
it doesn't stop here, you still have three more banks of exciting sounds to go!
Bank "B" PERFORMANCE
The first 72 presets reflect guitar sounds from various recordings and artists you are sure
to recognize. Next, from preset 73 to 93, are emulations of classic amplifier sounds. From
preset 94 to 116, you will find presets set up for keyboard and MIDI controllers. Use your
imagination and capitalize on these plug in and sound like presets!
