monophonic outputs for a bass, lead, or other single-note-at-a-time sound, such
as removing a snare drum from the main outputs on a drum machine and only
having it appear at the one output jack of your choice. The Voice Mix button
Voice Output toggles the individual outputs on and off per Program. This is not
exclusive in it’s behaviour, so you can have a sound appear in the Main or Aux
outputs at the same time as it appears in the inividual voice outputs.
Monophonic Programs with Individual Outputs:
Since the A6 uses dynamic voice allocation, and the individual voice outputs are
hardwired to each monophonic voice chip, you need to
select Mono in the Keyboard Mode section, and then use
Soft Pot 4 to select which hardware voice you want to use.
That mono voice will (of course) appear at it's own voice
output. Note that you have to press the Mono/Poly button twice to change the
mode; one press will call up the associated page for editing. This is to ease the
use of this section as it has no View button.
A special effect may be created by sending each Individual Output to an external
mixer, and panning them individually. The signals will be output depending upon
the Keyboard Mode assignment. From the A6 manual, Page 59:
LOWEST: This will always play the lowest available
voices.
ROTARY: This assigns new notes to the 16 voices so that
all voices are used in turn.
The Analog Distortion and Digital FX sum into the
Main Outputs only (the FX are a sidechain with sends to
them from each voice chip. They are not 'in line' with the
analog signals that go to the Main Outputs. In other words,
the summed outputs of the voices to the Mains do not go
through anything digital.)
Digital FX
-The Pan control is used to determine the signal input level
to any dual effects configurations. It has no effect on single
or serial effects.
-Individual sends to the effects are possible in Mix mode. Simply
select the Mix channel you want and press Config and set the send
level you want (and repeat for each channel).
Analog Distortion
-You must switch TOMAIN “ON” to use it. Turn on the TODFX sends
if you want the output of the Distortion to be sent into the Digital
effects. These routes are independent and can be used in any
combination.
