MIDI Overflow Mode
ESQ-M – Musician's Manual
Als
o,
if you are operating the ESQ-M and the ESQ-1 in stereo you should be sure to Pan the right outputs of
both instruments right, and the left outputs of both instruments left, to avoid differences in the pan
locations between the two instruments.
Adapting Existing ESQ-1 Sequences for Overflow
If you want to use Overflow Mode with ESQ-1 sequences that you had previously created without Overflow,
you must do the following:

In each sequence, for each Track with LOCAL Status, go to the Mix/MIDI Page and assign it
the proper MIDI Channel according to the table shown above. (Or assign it a Channel based on
whatever alternative scheme you have decided on. But above all, be consistent. Always use the
same MIDI Channel for the same Track on both instruments.)

As mentioned earlier, Tracks with BOTH status will act like LOCAL Tracks with Overflow on.
If you have BOTH Tracks in your sequence, you will have to decide whether you want to 1) leave
them that way and have them play only on the ESQ's, or 2) change the status to MIDI, so that they will
play only on the remote instrument(s).

If there are MIDI only Tracks in your sequence which are playing remote instruments, they will
behave just as they always did. But check to see none of them is set to the a MIDI Channel that is
being used for Overflow. If they are, change the MIDI Channel of one or the other.
Overflow Mode and two ESQ-M's
Two ESQ-M's can be made to act as a single 16-voice instrument by turning on Overflow on the first unit.
The concept is basically the same as described above. You will need to do the following:

Connect the MIDI Out of your master controller to the MIDI In of the first ESQ-M.

Connect the MIDI Out (not the Thru) of the first ESQ-M to the MIDI In of the second ESQ-M.

Put both units in MULTI Mode (for use with a sequencer or other poly-timbral application) or POLY
Mode (for using one sound at a time). In either case, both units should be in the same MIDI Mode.

Each Track on the second ESQ-M should be set to the same MIDI Channel as the same track on the
first ESQ-M. For example (in MULTI Mode):
ESO-M #1
Track 0
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
Track 5
Track 6
Track 7
Track 8
Overflows to
ESO-M
#2
,
MIDI Channel
Track 0 1 (Base Channel )
Track 1 2
Track 2 3
Track 3 4
Track 4 5
Track 5 6
Track 6 7
Track 7 8
Track 8 9
Again these are recommendations. You can use any channel assignments you want as long as they are
the same for both units.

Turn On MIDI Overflow Mode
on the first
ESO-M
only.
(See p. 32) Now when the first ESQ-
M runs out of voices it will send the overflow to the second ESQ-M instead of stealing voices.
