Notes and suggestions
Delete Track If you cannot cancel a track from a Performance because the same track is
exploited by the Song in the same Bank/Song, use the following “trick”:
1. Save the Performance to another Bank/Song.
2. Cancel the track.
3. Save the modified Performance back to the original Bank/Song.
Delay You can combine different tracks with different delay values to create complex
repeating effects. An example of this application is heard in the R
OM
-Performance “Modern
Gnome”.
Aftertouch Aftertouch can be simultaneously activated in some tracks and deactivated in
others. An example of this application is a Performance in layer mode with Piano and
Strings assigned to the two tracks. By activating Aftertouch for just the Strings track you
can change the Volume of this sound by pressing the notes on the keyboard, while Piano
(whose track has Aftertouch deactivated) will not be changed.
M
IDI
Filter The M
IDI
O
UT
Filters can be very useful when combined with M
IDI
M
ERGE
.
Consider, for example, a M
IDI
setup with a sequencer connected to the M
IDI
I
N
of the Music
Processor and an expander connected to its M
IDI
O
UT
:
Local
Midi In
Track 1
Midi Out
The M
IDI
M
ERGE
is active. The sequencer transmits Program Changes to track 1 to select the
Sound. The Program Change transmitted to track 1 selects both the Sound of the Music
Processor (
GENERATION
Destination) and a sound for the expander (
MIDI OUT
Destination).
The expander sound may not correspond to that of the Music Processor and may not be
suitable, therefore, you should assign the ProgramChange message to one of the M
IDI
Out
Filters. Consequently, the Sound of the Music Processor will be selected, while the filter
excludes the Program Change message from the M
IDI
O
UT
.
