WHAT IS SUPERMODE?
Supermode means that you can turn your Emax II sequencer into a MIDI matrix, capable
of routing any of 16 MIDI channels to any of 100 Emax II presets simultaneously. Since
there are 50 available sequence locations, you can have up to 50 such setups.
TO ACCESS MULTIPLE PRESETS THROUGH MIDI
:
1. Turn Supermode on (Setup/#6).
2. Select Supermode Map (Sequence 00) (see below).
3. Hit Setup #2 (Track Preset).
4. Assign presets to the desired tracks.
When Supermode is on, all MIDI channel and mode settings within presets (Preset
Definition #7) are ignored. Instead, incoming MIDI data will be individually channelled
into respective sequencer tracks. Remember, MIDI channel numbers correspond to the
same track numbers.

WHAT IS A SUPERMODE MAP?
It is the sequence, labeled 00 on all E-mu factory disks, in which all 16 tracks have been
recorded with nothing for one second. This is so that there exists a ‘sequence’ where you
can assign presets to any one of the sixteen tracks. You can’t make assignments to empty
tracks.
MIDI Channels are always routed to the same numbered Track.
The SuperMode Map directs a Track to the appropriate Preset.
