c. Using the MINIAK with a MIDI patch bay:
If you employ a MIDI patch bay to route controllers and
sound sources, you will probably want to set local control to off.
The MINIAK also has a special "off + send ptns" mode which actually sends out complete Sequence data (all
notes, velocities, control change information) rather than one simple command to start and stop a stored
Sequence within the MINIAK. Some users may find this useful if they want to record their Sequences within
a computer sequencer.
6. MIDI Setup Mode:
MIDI mode options are "single-channel" or "multi-channel." This setting affects Multis.
In "single-channel" mode, the MINIAK only sends and receives MIDI data over one of the 16 possible MIDI
channels. In "multi-channel" mode, each part and beat sends and receives MIDI data on a separate channel.
Turn the
DATA DIAL
to select either "single-channel" or "multi-channel."
7. MIDI channel:
Your options will differ depending upon the setting chosen earlier in
MIDI mode
:
If the MINIAK is set to "single-channel" mode, you will be able to select the MIDI channel.
If the MINIAK is set to "multi-channel" mode, you will be able to select the MIDI channel for the first part. The
channel for each additional part and beat will increment from there. (For instance, if you set the channel to
"4," then Part A will use MIDI channel 4; Part B will use MIDI channel 5; etc.
Even in multi-channel mode, the MINIAK will never use a MIDI channel lower than the channel specified in
this option, so you can assign the lower channels to other MIDI instruments.
Because there are only sixteen MIDI channels, a Multi with more than sixteen parts and beats will not work
well in multi-channel mode. The parts that would be assigned channels above 16 will not send or receive
MIDI data.
8. MIDI sync:
The MIDI sync setting determines how incoming timing
signals sent over MIDI are processed.
The default setting for MIDI sync is "off." In this mode, any incoming
MIDI timing data is ignored. This allows you to set the MINIAK's
tempo normally, using the
[TAP TEMPO]
button and the DATA DIAL.
When MIDI sync is set to "ext MIDI sync," the MINIAK accepts incoming tempo information from external
MIDI devices such as sequencers. When it receives such information, the tempo from the external device
controls the tempo setting in the MINIAK.
A third setting, "gen MIDI clock," generates tempo information and sends it out via the MINIAK's
(MIDI OUT)
port.
To summarize:
•
off:
the MINIAK sets it tempo independent of other devices.
•
ext MIDI sync:
incoming synchronization from other devices controls the MINIAK's tempo.
•
gen MIDI clock:
the MINIAK controls other devices' tempo.
9. Store Protect:
By default, store protection is "on." When store protection is on, you cannot save or delete
within the MINIAK. Once you feel comfortable saving changes, turn store protection "off."
10. Sysex: send all:
Push the
DATA DIAL
to send a SysEx to a computer or other external device through
the
(MIDI OUT)
port on the back of the MINIAK. This SysEx will contain everything you have stored on your
MINIAK – every Program, Multi, Rhythm, and Sequence. This can be used to back up all of your data at
once, or to share your entire collection with others.
Tempo gone haywire?
If your tempo seems to have a
mind of its own, see whether
MIDI sync is set to "ext MIDI
sync." Set it to "off" or "gen MIDI
clock" to rectify the situation.
