01/W Combinations ("Combis")

01 Directory

First 01W page

A cleaner, more useful version of this list of Combis appears in Table 35 (page 137) of the Percussion Manual. (A sample appears below.)

A complete list of all the PROGs that make up each COMBI appears in Tables 39 and 40 (pages 144-147). (A sample appears below.)

Combi Names Table

(Not available on this website - in Percussion Manual only.)

The Percussion Manual Table 35 shows all Combis in groups of ten. Here's a partial scan of page 137:

This is a particularly useful table that helps you find Combis with the instrumentation or sounds you're looking for.

Unless you're a reader of the Percussion Manual, you probably didn't notice that Progs and Combis are grouped in blocks of ten that share similar sounds.

For example, Combis with numbers that end with "1" tend to be keyboard instruments (see sample scan above). Some groups are broader than others (some have a wider range of instruments or Progs) but knowing the groups (as shown in Table 35) will help you find your way around.

Progs In Combis Tables

(Not available on this website - in Percussion Manual only.)

The Percussion Manual has two tables that show each Combi and the Progs that make up that Combi. Here's a partial scan of page 144:

Information as shown above appears for all 200 Combis (Table 39 shows A00-A99, Table 40 shows B00-B99). (There is no additional information about the settings of each Prog in the Combi.)

I found the tables useful when there was a Prog I liked and wanted to see which Combi(s) used it.

For example, which Combi (if any) uses Steel Drums?

(answer: Combi B69:Island Drum uses Prog A35:SteelDrums, plus two other Progs.)
