As an experiment, set up the following:
1 . Connect another MIDI synthesizer as a second Slave in the
system to the MATRIX-GR (the MATRIX-GR, remember, is a
Slave to the Master controller to begin with). The MIDI OUT - not
M IDI THAU - of the MATRIX-GR should be connected to the
M IDI IN of the Slave. The Slave synth can be any other MIDI
instrument but for SPILLOVER to work, it must have the ability
to turn off its OMN I MODE and allow you to select a single MIDI
Channel to receive.
2. Set the BASIC M IDI Channel on the MATRIX-GR to 1 . The
MATRIX-GR can be either in OMNI MODE or receiving on a
single M IDI Channel. Just be sure that
It
is the same Receiving
Channel that the Master controller is transmitting on.
3. Turn OMNI MODE
off
on the second Slave synth and select
Channel 3 as the Receiving Channel.
4.
Select your f avorlte patches on both instruments and play the
Master controller. Notice that if you play six notes or less on the
Master, only the MATRIX-GR plays and the second Slave synth
connected to the MATRIX-GR does not sound - the MATRIX-GR
is transmiting on a MIDI Channel (in this case Channel 1 ) that
the second Slave synthesizer is not receiving (in this case
Channel 3).
5. Now, play
and hold
six notes on the Master controller. Then,
with your remaining fingers, play the seventh, eighth, ninth and
tenth notes and they will be heard coming from the Slave synth
only. If you turn the OMNI MODE of the Slave instrument back
on, notes played on the MATRIX-GR will be doubled on the
Slave, just as normal.
SPILLOVER in Split Mode
SPILLOVER also works when the MATRIX-GR is in SPLIT MODE
and occurs
independently
from each of the two Zones.
The MATRIX-GR's voices can also be "Split" so that the Master
controller can play two sounds from the MATRIX-GR at the same
time - one from the left-hand side of the keyboard and one from
the right-hand side of the keyboard - even if the Master does not
have a Split-Keyboard capability of its own. The left side of the
keyboard is referred to as the "Lower Zone" and the right side of
the keyboard is referred to as the "Upper Zone". For a detailed
description on how to program Splits, refer to the section titled
SPLIT EDIT PAGE.
