Organising patches and banks (Personal preferences)

Post by Myrk- »

Not a technical question, more one of preference. How do you guys organise your sounds on your JD-XA's?

Do you use the banks for each song? Or a bank for pads, a bank for saw leads, etc? Do you have 1 bank for making new sounds which you then copy into another bank, or just leave everything randomly scattered throughout all the banks? Do you all use a USB to double up the number of banks, or do people find 16x16 is enough?

I'm curious about how other people do this.

Bank A acoustic piano and guitar

Banks B and C pads

Bank D arps

Bank E leads

BANK F fx and experimental

Rest of the Banks are spill over banks for extra Pads and messing about with setting sounds.

I think thats plenty but I also have a USB stick in the back with all the other Roland sounds.

I like the fact that I can keep it simple and its not full of sounds I hate.

Any old order then set up favorites and write down the major ones.

Or go commando and don't save anything ...

Is there anyway of initialising a sound?
Deleting and resetting?

Hold down the [Shift] button and press the [Program Select/Init] button. The INIT screen appears :)
