Auditioning Presets
Auditioning Presets
The front panel audition button allows you to hear any preset in Vintage
Keys without even playing a note! When the Audition button is pressed,
the button’s LED will illuminate and a short “Riff” (programmed as part of
the preset) will play. The Riff is latched on and plays continuously until the
button is pressed again. Presets can be changed while Audition is latched.

To audition presets with
their programmed effects, switch
to Omni or Poly mode (located
in the MIDI menu).
The top line of the Preset View display changes to show the MIDI Bank
Select controller values needed to select the preset being auditioned. This is
an extremely handy feature when sequencing.
