Advanced Multi-timbral Instruments / Signal Chain
Now that you have a good idea of how to use multi-timbral instruments, it is time to learn an
advanced way to setup Riff to work with your multi-timbral instruments.
As you can see in the Signal Chain, there are only eight slots . Plus, the signal chains are made for
layering sounds, and creating keyboard splits.
Let's say you wanted to use all 16 MIDI channels of a multi-timbral instrument in one Song, as
opposed to setting up 16 songs each using a different MIDI channel.
The earlier tutorial explained how to do it that way. However, it is good to know the different ways
to setup instruments in Riff.
Setup a new Song, and again, add Purity to the Song.
Remember to unlink the MIDI channels in Purity. Go head and assign sounds to some channels.
Go to the signal chain, select the "Input" for Signal Chain 1. This Input needs to only use MIDI
channel 1. The input can be forced to use a particular MIDI channel by pressing the [Input Output]
button located in the lower controls section. Do this and the "MIDI Input I/O" option box appears.
Set "Force MIDI Output Channel" to "Output Ch 1".
Then press [Set].
This forces the input to only use MIDI channel 1.
