MIDI channel under CHANNEL. The same applies to the OUT field under
DEVICE in which you can select the MIDI driver to accept the incoming MIDI

Use Keyboard Chord Type to determine whether the onscreen keyboard should
play single notes (none setting) or a chord. The latter is useful when constructing
organ, spatial or technoid stack sounds. The chord function is not available to a
connected MIDI keyboard.
2.2 First steps and procedures
To get an idea just how quickly a new instrument can be constructed using
Ed!son, here's the step-by-step procedure.The wave file SAWTOOTH.WAV
located in the Ed!son folder will serve as the basis. As the name implies, the
sample contains a sawtooth wave which can also be used later for a huge number
of typical synthesizer sounds.
Preparations
•
In order to have a defined starting condition, start by deleting the contents of
the sample RAM of your WAMI BOX by removing all of the soundsets in the
memory using the Delete button in the Set Manager. Important: Do this before
starting Ed!son.
•
Close the Set Manager and start Ed!son.
Note:
These two steps are not absolutely necessary, as one or more sample sets may be
loaded in the WAMI BOX. The priority of the Ed!son set is automatically set to
the highest value. It's advisable nevertheless to ensure a predictable starting basis
and prevent being surprised by a sudden shortage of memory.
