MASTER
EDIT PAG E
A wider interval can be achieved by modulating the DCO's Frequencies by
LEVER1 twice. You will use four MATRIX MODs in this case, two for each
DCO. An octave bend is created by setting one AMOUNT to a min 6th
(63)
and the other to a Maj 3rd
(58)
to equal an octave. Just as you can route
one Source to 1
O
different Destinations, you can have 1
O
different Sources
modulate the same Destination. Keep experimenting - you're only limited by
your own imagination.
As we mentioned in the beginning of the manual, the MASTER EDIT Page
parameters are not programmable with each individual patch. Rather, they
are set for the MATRIX-GR as a whole and will do the same thing for one
patch as it will for all the others. This is called "Global Control" - selecting a
parameter VALUE for one patch selects
It
for the rest of them.
The MASTER EDIT Page is comprised of five Sub-Pages of related
functions. They are selected and given VALUE amounts just like the other
Pages. And although they are not programmable per patch, they are stored
in Global memory and will remain as they are until you change them. Even if
you turn the MATRIX-GR off, come back a week later and turn it on again,
these settings will still be intact.
MIDI
M I DI is an acronym for Musical I nstrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a
universally accepted system of digital communication that allows you to
hook up your MATRIX-GR to other devices - synthesizers, sequencers,
drum machines, computers, etc. - as long as they also are equipped with a
MIDI interface. MIDI makes it possible to hook up instruments by different
manufacturers.
Because your MATRIX-GR uses an internal computer (called a
"microprocessor''),
it
is able to communicate through M I DI to other
microprocessor based devices that have this interface. MI DI, then, is a digital
language that enables two or more MIDI-equipped instruments to "talk" to
each other.
In the M I DI Sub-Pages, you are able to determine when and what kind of
communication takes place and how it will occur. MIDI communication is
transmitted and received, and this occurs through channels - much the
same as radio or television, but using cables instead of antennas.
Connecting two or more MIDI devices together constitutes a M IDI "system".
M I DI channel communication is divided into two main categories :
NOTES
- notes played on one instrument are played on the
other(s) as well asVELOCITY and RELEASE VELOCITY.
