Selecting Programs and Multis
The Artis supports two types of sounds. The rst type is a Program, and these are normally a
single instrument, such as a piano, or an organ. A Program is similar to a “preset” or “patch”
on other synthesizers. The Artis has 256 factory Programs, and the space for a further 256
user Programs. Both factory and user Programs are arranged into 16 categories of 16 sounds
each.
The other type of sound is the more complex Multi. A Multi is a combination of Programs
arranged as layers and splits across the keyboard. They are similar to setups, from the Kurzweil
PC series, SP series and K2 series, and are similar to Combis or Multis from other synthesizers.
The Artis has a 256 factory Multis and space for a further 256 user Multis. Similar to Programs,
both factory and user Multis are arranged into 16 categories of 16 sounds each.
The Artis has been designed so that it is quick and easy to select Programs and Multis from
the front panel.
Use the following guide to audition the factory sounds on the Artis.
Selecting Programs and Multis
The Artis always powers up in Program Mode. If you wish to play a Multi, simply press the
Multi Button. The Multi Button will light up to show that Multi Mode is selected. To return to
Program Mode, from a different mode, simply press the Program button. If the User button
is illuminated, then you are in the User Bank. Press the User Button to return to the Factory
Bank, and the light will go out. In the Factory Bank, press one of the Category Buttons
to change Category, and that Category Button will light up. Once you are in your desired
Category, press one of the Program/Multi buttons to select the program you want.
To select another Program or Multi within the same Category, just press a Program/Multi
Button, or use the Alpha Wheel, or Next/Previous Buttons.
To select a Program or Multi in another Category but not in the other Bank (Factory/User),
press the desired Category Button, followed by the desired Program/Multi Button. The Alpha
Wheel and Next/Previous Buttons will select the next Category once you get to the end of
the current Category. Pressing the Category Button, will select the Default Program for that
Category. The Default Category Program can be set by the user for each Category. By default
the Artis has the Default Program for each Category set to the rst Program of each Category.
To change the Default Category Program, please refer to the User Manual.
Controllers
The Sliders, Wheels, Pedals and Buttons can control each of the factory Programs and Multis,
to produce variations to the sound. Don’t forget to try these out as you explore the factory
sounds on the Artis.
