COMBINATION > Timbre Parameters
2–1: MIDI
Here you can make MIDI settings for each Timbre.
2–1a: MIDI
Timbre 01
Status [Off, INT, EXT, EX2]
This specifies the MIDI and internal tone generator status.
You can also set Status from the Home– Mixer page. For
more information, please see “Status” on page 379.
MIDI Channel [01…16, Gch]
Sets the MIDI transmit/receive channel for each timbre.
Gch: The timbre will use the channel that has been selected
as the global MIDI Channel (GLOBAL 1–1a).
When Status is INT, MIDI messages will be received on the
channel you specify here. If this setting is the same as the
global MIDI channel, the internal tone generator will sound
according to the internal settings. If this is set to EXT or
EX2, playing the NAUTILUS will transmit MIDI messages
on the MIDI channel specified here. (Messages will also be
transmitted simultaneously on the global MIDI channel.)
Bank Select MSB (When Status = EX2) [000…127]
Bank Select LSB (When Status = EX2) [000…127]
Specifies the bank number that will be transmitted when
Status is set to EX2. This setting has no effect if Status is
other than EX2.
Timbre Priority [Off, On]
Sometimes, if a lot of voices are already sounding, there
won’t be enough free power to play a new voice. When this
happens, the system stops older or lower-priority voices to
free enough CPU power for the new voice. If
Timbre
Priority is On , then the Timbre’s voices can only be stolen
by other priority voices; all voices with Timbre Priority Off
will be stolen first.
Timbre Priority applies only to sequencing and ARP; all
sounds played live from the built-in keyboard (those on the
global MIDI Channel) automatically receive priority,
regardless of this parameter setting.
In a Combi with many active Timbres, you can enable
Timbre Priority for sounds with an important musical role,
such as drums or bass. In general, you can enable it for any
Timbre for which note stealing would adversely affect the
overall sound.
Important: this setting will have little meaning if it is turned
on for more than a few timbres. It’s a good idea to start with
Timbre Priority un-checked for all Timbres, and only turn
it on as necessary.
On (checked): The Timbre’s voices will be given priority in
voice-stealing.
Off (un-checked): The Timbre’s voices will not be given
priority in voice-stealing.
Timbres 02…16
These are the MIDI-related settings for timbres 2 through 16.
They are the same as for timbre 1. See “Timbre 01”.
