Patches

The basic voice unit of the SK PRO is a "Patch", which stores the source sound or sounds and all programming for each sound. There are Factory and User Patches available......100 of each for the ORGAN and MONO SYNTH Sections and 300 Factory / 400 User for the PIANO and ENSEMBLE Sections.

​

Combinations

The SK PRO introduces Combinations, combining sounds ("Patches") from any or all of the four tonal sections, along with the desired performance parameters required for those sounds.

• Combinations "set the scene" for each performance and may be changed in an instant.

• You can even assign external MIDI instruments to these Combinations.

• In conjunction with the 4 ALLOCATION buttons located in the center of the keyboard, the player can call up any part of a Combination in real-time, giving the equivalent of FOUR (4) discrete keyboards.

• 200 Combinations are available (100 Factory and 100 User). Any ten (10) of these may be assigned to the F AVORITES buttons (as on previous SK instruments) for instant access. The role of the Favorites has been expanded to include Ten (10) Banks with 10 Favorites each are available, making a total of 100 Favorites easily and quickly called up.

​

Synthesizer

The SK PRO incorporates a brand-new physical-modelling Synthesizer faithfully reproducing the sounds of classic analog synthesizers.

Six (6) different Oscillator configurations are provided, as well as controls for Filter and Amplitude allowing the player to create sounds in real-time just as on a classic analog synth.
