Multi Edit Mode

Setting different Parts to the same MIDI chan-
nel is a way to build “fat,” richly textured
sounds — like the four-Voice sounds created
in the Performance mode. The advantage to
this method here is that you are not limited
to four Voices. The disadvantage is that you
can only create and use one of these “mon-
ster” sounds at a time. (However, you can
store/load your Multi mode settings to/from
a computer or data filer; see page 162.)
For example, if you’ve set both Parts 1 and 2
to MIDI channel 1, both of their “level meters”
should move together as you play. And, if the
two Parts are set to different Voices, you
should hear two different Voices sound at the
same time. (For instructions on changing the
Voice for a Part, refer back to “Selecting and
Playing Individual Voices” on page 42)
Receive Channel
Receive Channel
Range: A01 — 16, B01 — 16, C01 —
16, D01 — 16, off
This determines the MIDI receive chan-
nel for each part.
Parts set to channels A01 - 16 receive
MIDI data from the MIDI IN-A terminal
(when the HOST SELECT switch is set
to “MIDI”), or MIDI data via Port 1 of
the TO HOST terminal (when the HOST
SELECT switch is set to “Mac,” “PC-1,”
or “PC-2”).
Parts set to channels B01 - 16 receive
MIDI data from the MIDI IN-B terminal
(when the HOST SELECT switch is set
to “MIDI”), or MIDI data via Port 2 of
the TO HOST terminal (when the HOST
SELECT switch is set to “Mac,” “PC-1,”
or “PC-2”).
Parts set to channels C01-16 receive
MIDI data via Port 3 of the TO HOST
terminal (when the HOST SELECT
switch is set to “Mac,” “PC-1,” or “PC-
2”).
Parts set to channels D01-16 receive
MIDI data via Port 4 of the TO HOST
terminal (when the HOST SELECT
switch is set to “Mac,” “PC-1,” or “PC-
2”).
Parts set to “off” receive no MIDI chan-
nel message data.
