STRUCTURE OF THE SK PRO
Th e illustration below shows the structure of the sound engine and memory.
Th e SK PRO has four sound-producing divisions or Sections .
Each Section has sounds and Parameters which can be Recorded
as a Patch. In addition, Patches from the diff erent Sections can
be combined to produce a Combination. Th
is is explained in
more detail starting below.
SECTIONS
There are four (4) sound Sections - ORGAN, PIANO,
ENSEMBLE and MONO SYNTH. These can be used
individually or together, as shown on the right side of the
illustration at the top of this page.

Split:
Expanded:
Th e SK PRO Voice Sections can be allocated either by using
the SPLIT feature to divide the keyboard or by expanding the
instrument via MIDI (see the fi gure above). When the [SPLIT]
feature is enabled, the portion of the keyboard to the right of
the SPLIT Point is called UPPER and the left portion of the
keyboard is called LOWER. PEDAL refers to the bass tones
which can be played from a connected MIDI Pedalboard.
PARTS
The ORGAN Section has 3 Parts - UPPER, LOWER and
PEDAL. Th
ese can be assigned either by using the [ALLOCATE]
buttons or, when using the [3 PART ORGAN] function,
allocated to replicate the performance of a classic Hammond
Organ with two manuals and pedals.
MEMORY
PATCHES
A Patch is an individual unit of each Voice Section. For example,
the PIANO Section contains Grand Pianos, Electric Pianos, etc.,
the ENSEMBLE Section contains Strings, Choir, and so on.

Bundle Patches
Th e Patches are grouped in three ways. “F” (Factory) Patches are
set at the factory and cannot be changed. “U” (User) Patches can
be changed by the player. “B” (Bundles) consist of Combination
Parameters plus ORGAN and MONO SYNTH Sections
grouped together. After you have Recorded a Bundle (Bxxx), you
can then include it in a Combination.
Th
ere are 100 Factory and 100 User Patches for the ORGAN
and MONO SYNTH Sections. Th e PIANO and ENSEMBLE
Sections share a common library of Factory and User Patches.
COMBINATIONS
A “Combination” is a unit which contains Patches as well as
other Parameters such as the Patch number of each Section,
keyboard allocations of each Section, etc. (see illustration at the
top of this page, center).
Th
e SK PRO contains a total of 100 Factory (“F”) Combinations
which can be used “as is” or changed to suit the player.
For example, “ORGAN Section Patch #10, allocated to LOWER
Keyboard, soft Volume, Octave +1, PIANO Section Patch #3,
allocated to UPPER Keyboard at high Volume.”
FAVORITES
The [FAVORITE] buttons allow you to store and recall
frequently-used Combinations (see illustration at the top of this
page, upper-left side).
Th
ere are 10 [FAVORITE] buttons. In addition, there are 10
Banks of Favorites, bringing the total number of Favorites to
100. Use the [BANK] button to access the Favorite Banks.
