Here's the link to the thread that goes with the preset, in case anyone missed it:

Even if you are not really interested in sine kicks, the threat contains some very useful ideas for developing your own sound design templates.

The factory conventions for the different ROMS and boxes are IMO quite good and can sustain musical interest for years. However, there is still so much relatively untapped potential in the design of E-Mu legacy gear. Developing templates for classes of presets as was done here definitely taps into that potential.

Hmmmm, the 4 x 4 knobs come off fairly easily. Hmmmm,  it might be possible to design and make laminated covers with holes for the knob mounts and leds to have custom labels. Has anyone here done anything like that?

If 000:   None appears, or if there are question marks (???) or it says something like not instld, you need to assign the preset some ROM INSTRUMENTS.
