IMPORTANT NOTE:
The MATRIX-GR must also have MASTER
Edit Parameter " 1 2 M I DI ECHO" turned ON for Patch Map Echoing
to occur. If M I DI ECHO is disabled, Patch Map Echoing will not
happen even if it is ON.
Also, if "1 2 M I DI ECHO" is ON but Patch Map Echo is OFF, the
MATRIX-GR will recall the
IN
Patch but the
Reference Patch
will
be sent to the MATRIX-GR's MIDI OUT. As you can see, there are
several different combinations as to the ON
I
OFF status of the four
MASTER Edit Parameters that deal with Patch Changes. As a
check list, keep in mind the following chart when using the
MATRIX-GR's Patch Change Parameters:

Under normal conditions, the MATRIX-GR - as with most MIDI
synthesizers - receive MIDI Notes polyphonically from the Master
controller from one specified MIDI Channel. In SPLIT Mode, the
MATRIX-GR receives M I D I Notes polyphonically from
two
specified
MIDI Channels - one for the LEFT ZON E and one for the R IGHT
ZONE. MIDI MONO is the means by which each of the
MATRIX-GR's six Voices are played from six separate M IDI
Channels. This parameter selects MIDI MONO etther ON or OFF.
When OFF, the MATRIX-GR receives MIDI Notes from the Master
controller polyphonically, as described above.
When ON, the MATRIX-GR receives MIDI from the M aster
monophonically. Each Voice is reset to respond to single notes
received on a separate MIDI Channel.
Using MIDI MONO
M I D I MONO is a useful mode when independent control of each
Voice is necessary. Playing six single-note lines from a Ml DI
sequencer on six separate play tracks is one example. M IDI guitar
players will really enjoy the added flexibility of being able to have
each string control a Voice independent of the others, complete
wtth Pttch Bend and Volume dynamics.
When using MIDI MONO, the M I DI Channel assignments to Voices
are based on what you have selected as the BASIC CHANNEL
"N"
in MASTER Edit Parameter 00. If the BASIC Channel = 1 ,
then Voice 1 receives on Channel N or 1 from the Master
controller, Voice 2 - Channel 2
(
N
+
1
)
, Voice 3 = Channel 3
(

)
,
and so on. The following table gives the possible M IDI Channel
assignments for each Voice.
