Combos
A combo is a collection of four programs—one per voice—combined to make a
sort of super program. How a combo responds to MIDI note data depends
largely upon whether or not it is monophonic (that is, unison is on) or
polyphonic. The typical uses for a combo are:
Stacked unison—
All four voices play from a single key or the P
USH
I
T
button
with four different programs.
Multitimbral sequence playback—
Four different programs and their sequences
play back simultaneously from a single key or the P
USH
I
T
button.
“Modular-style” polyphony—
Four-voice polyphony with a different program per
voice.
Tetra has 128 combos. To access them, press the mode button to light the
C
OMBO
LED. Change combos using S
ELECT
or increment (+) and decrement (-).
The bottom row of knobs (P
ITCH
, C
UTOFF
, etc.) affects all the programs in the
combo. Though this may not make sense in all cases, changing all four programs
in a combo with a single control makes for some very interesting live editing
possibilities.
Each of the Assignable Parameters knobs controls one parameter for the
respective voice. That is, knob 1 controls a parameter for voice 1, knob 2 for
voice 2, and so on.
Creating a Combo
It probably goes without saying, but it is generally quicker and easier to create
combos using the editor. It can be done without the editor, though.
To create a combo from scratch, press E
DIT
B/C
OMBO
while in Combo Mode.
The display shows “Edit V1” to indicate that any edits made affect voice 1 only.
S
ELECT
chooses programs from the program banks (layer A only). The display
looks something like this:
C 19 P 26 B2 V1

The top row shows the combo, the program, the bank, and the voice being
edited. The bottom row shows the program name.
Note: Though the program banks can be used as a starting point for
building combos, the actual programs used are copies, so any edits made
