CONTROLLERS -
LEVER1 (Pitch Wheel) and LEVER2 (Vibrato
Wheel) , PEDAL 1 (Volume) and PEDAL2 (Sustain) , PATCH
CHANGES and PRESSURE (After-Touch) used on one will
modulate the others in the MIDI system. The main thing to keep in
mind is that if the Master instrument is transmitting on a certain
channel, the receiving instruments must also be set to that
channel for these events to be recognized.
The MATRIX-SR enables you to set M I D I assignments using 1 2 MIDI
Parameters, numbered
00
through
1 1 .
They are described as follows:
00 BASIC CHANNEL
This selects the transmitting and receiving channel for the MATRIX
SR. VALUE selects any one of the available MIDI Channels
numbered 1 through 1 S. The BASIC CHANN ELS are concerned
primarily with transmitting and receiving Notes and Controllers.
There are, however, a few details you must keep in mind:
RECEIVE -
When MIDI IN is used, the MATRIX-SR is considered a
SLAVE and will receive
Notes
and
Controllers
on the BASIC
CHANNEL. The Master controller must be set to transmit on this
channel as well. The exception to this (and this is an important one)
is that if OMNI MODE is turned ON in the next parameter 01 OMNI
MODE, the MATRIX-SR will receive Notes and Controllers on
any
M I D I channel. The Master instrument can be set to transmit on any
one MIDI channel and Its Notes and Controllers will be received by
the MATRIX-SR at all times when in OMNI MODE.
TRANSMIT - When
M I DI OUT is used, the MATRIX-SR will
transmit its own internal MI DI information to other slaves in the
system. An example of this would be making a patch change on
the MATRIX-SR from its own Keypad. If MASTER Edit Parameter
"03 PATCH CHANGES" is selected ON, the MATRIX-SR will
transmit a patch change made on its own Keypad to MIDI OUT.
When MIDI OUT is used
and
MASTER Edit Parameter "1 2 MIDI
ECHO" is turned,ON, the MATRIX-SR is considered the second
"Master" in the system and will transmit MIDI
Notes
and
Controllers
coming from the Master controller as well as its own
MIDI on whatever you select as the BASIC CHANNEL. Even
though the MATRIX-SR is technically a Slave in the system - due to
the fact that to play it, you must "slave it" to a Master controller - you
can think of it as another Master when its MIDI OUT and MIDI ECHO
are used.
THRU
- When the MATRIX-SR's M I DI THRU is used
instead
of
MIDI OUT, it will only respond as a Slave in your M I DI system and will
simply pass information received from its MI DI IN to other slave
instruments in the system, unaffected by any M I DI processing
going on inside the MATRIX-SR Itself.
