SPECTRALIS
defined by the users will direct the Spectralis to send these data on song select.
Bank: Defining a bank change number
Synthesizers, sporting more than 128 soundprograms are usually supporting
bank-change controllers to make all programs selectable from MIDI messages.
Most synthesizers are executing bankchange commands only if they are followed
by the reception of a programchange message. The exact handling of bankchanges
should be described in the user manual of the synthesizer you are planning to
use.
Sound: Selecting the soundprogram
Here you can select a programchange number between 0 and 127.
Vol: Setting up the volume
Here you can set the volume for the MIDI instrument.
Pan: Adjusting the Panorama position
The fourth encoder controls the panpot position of the MIDI instrument.
If you want to erase a setting, simply push the encoder button of a parameter to set
it’s value to undefined - indicated by a crossed line „—“.
Alternatively the MIDI definitions can be set up in a dedicated menu inside the
song edit section as well. Pushing the
[Song-Select]
-button opens an editpage.
This editpage contains an entry
[MIDI]
. Pushing the
[MIDI]
encoderbutton opens
another menupage with the
[MIDIDEF]
menu entry.
Sequencerlines and parts assigned to MIDI definitions are sharing the available
MIDI resources. Make sure, you are not using the same MIDI channel from multi-
ple sequencer sections or parts unless you want to control some synthesis parameters
with the step-sequencer parameter control lines while the patternsequencer is playing
the motif on this MIDI instrument.
TIP: The Spectralis has a softthrough function. If you are using a MIDI
keyboard to play a selected part and if this part is assigned to a MIDI
instrument, the masterkeyboard will become assigned to this MIDI instrument
as well. If you activate the sequencer-function menu and if you select a
sequence line assigned to a MIDI instrument, the softthrough function will
work in the same way.
