Is there any way of telling which bank the current preset has been loaded from?

This may seem a silly question, but as my library of WS/MS sounds increases, it's hard to remember which bank is currently loaded.

I realise that I can copy presets to my own bank, but I don't want to do that with every preset that I audition.

Regards

AlanB

Hi Alan
Presently no.
But i will add it to the feature request list.

Any new tunes lately?

Hi Paul

Only this:

Indiad

It's played live using the Jamstix demo, Plugsound Free (yes, I am a cheapskate!) and Manystation featuring my first ever preset! The vibrato on the guitar is controlled by the mod wheel (it's a bit OTT at 00:50).

I've been reading the manual today, trying to get my head round the wave sequencer, but I'm finding it hard.

Regards

Alan

One way to learn - in addition to the manual - is taking one of the wave sequenced presets, and look at what's happening, change some of the values and observe what's changing in the sound...

Hi Alan
Cool Track again...

About reading the Manual .....
You have to read it slowly as it was written by an Englishman in English ... Which is the Hardest English to try and Grasp

(Hi Simon

)
btw ...just drop Simon a mail or post in his manual thread here if there is something that is not clear

Hans has the right idea.
Cheers
Paul

I'm sure the problem is definitely not with the manual!

My excuse is, I've come to all this synthsizer malarky a bit late in life... I'm just a humble guitarist trying to make a backing track or two!!

True. But it is also the most precise of the English variants when it comes to conveying meaning (IMHO). However, the English language lacks sufficient variety when it comes to trying to describe all of the tones and colours that are available with the ManyStation (that's before you start to consider all of the many permutations of sounds that are available).

One thought for you Alan - don't read the manual in isolation. Sit in front of ManyStation, read a paragraph, figure what the first knob does; read the next paragraph, figure what the next knob does - then figure out how those two knobs interact. Keep going slowly like this until you really understand what each knob does and how each of the elements interact. As with any instrument, it is only with practice that you will get any good.

I would also suggest that you don't read more than a couple of pages of the manual at any time or you're likely to go bonkers.

As Paul says, if there is anything which isn't clear or where you would like more explanation, just shout and I'll sort it.

BTW Paul, where was it you were born???

All the best

Simon

Hehe ...Pretty close
But it was really in a Tube from one of the Beatles amps.
Circa 1964 Kent England.
Rolling Stones were rehearsing just round the corner so i hear. (hehe ...Keith may just be me long lost Brother)

And you know i am only pulling your leg Simon ...The Manual is Very Clear and Readable.

Yeah, my #1 FR for version 2 is the 'automate practice / boring repetition' function. That way my music will improve while I'm out chillin' at the lake with my dog.

You've got a dog?

Si. A frisbee-obsessed black lab. She prefers frisbee practice to mando practice. And many times so do I.
