MIDI Out Select: Out, Thru —
MIDI Out can be switched to MIDI Thru to
daisychain multiple MIDI devices.
Poly Chain: Off, Out 1, Out 4, Out 8, Out 12, In End, InOut4, InOut8 —
Using
Poly Chain, up to four Tetras can be chained together for increased polyphony.
One or two Tetras can also be chained with a Prophet ’08 for twelve- or sixteen-
note polyphony. And a Tetra and Mopho can be chained for five-note
polyphony. For a more complete description of Poly Chain and how to use it,
see
Using Poly Chain on page 32.
Multi Mode: Off, On —
Multi Mode enables Tetra to respond to four separate
MIDI channels for multitimbral playback. With Multi Mode on, voice one
responds to the base MIDI channel and the other three voices respond to the next
three consecutive channels. For example, if Tetra’s base channel setting is 3,
voice one responds to MIDI channel 3, voice two to MIDI channel 4, and so on.
Note: For all four voices to play in Multi Mode, the base channel must
be 13 or lower.
Local Control: Off, On —
When on (the default), the front panel controls
directly affect Tetra. When off, the controls are transmitted via MIDI but do not
directly affect the “local” device (that is, Tetra). This is primarily useful for
avoiding MIDI data loops that can occur with some external sequencers.
Audio Out: Stereo, Mono, Quad, Q LR34 —
Tetra has four audio outputs:
1/Left, 2/Right, 3, and 4. Stereo operation is the default. When set to Stereo, a
stereo mix of all voices is available via the Left and Right outputs.
Note: Outputs 3 and 4 are always direct outputs for voices 3 and 4 and
are mono, regardless of the Audio Out mode. Inserting a plug into output
3 or 4 does not remove that voice from the mix outputs when in Stereo or
Mono mode.
When set to Mono, this parameter defeats all pan settings and modulation,
effectively making each of the Left and Right outputs a mono output.
Quad directs each of the four voices to its respective, mono output.
Note: Outputs 3 and 4 are noticeably louder than the other two outputs.
This is normal. Outputs 3 and 4 are always monophonic and, therefore,
do not require as much headroom as the mix outputs, which have to
accommodate up to four voices at one time without distorting. The higher
level provides optimum signal-to-noise ratio. Compensate for differences
in level with a mixer.
