SET THE SPLIT'S VOICE ASSIGN MENTS
The MATRIX-GR permits you to configure the voicing of the LOWER and
UPPER sections to suit your playing needs.
Another way of looking at the LOWER and UPPER Voice Assignments is to
regard them as "ZONES" or specific physical areas of the Master's keyboard
with certain performance characteristics. Thus, the MATRIX-GR has two
ZONES - one is called the LOWER (Left) and the other is called the UPPER
( Right). These "characteristics" are the SPLIT Parameters that we just set up
(0
through 6). We can sum them up as follows:
A ZONE can be defined by its:
NOTE VALUE BOUNDARIES
set in Parameters
"O
LEFT
U PPER LIMIT" and "3 RIGHT LOWER LIM IT".
KEY SIGNATURE
set in Parameters "1 LEFT TRANSPOSE"
and
"4
RIGHT TRANSPOSE".
MIDI STATUS
set in Parameters "2 LEFT M I D I OUTPUT" and "5
RIGHT M IDI OUTPUT".
VOLUME OUTPUT
set in Parameter "G LEFT - RIGHT
BALANCE".
VOICE ASSIGNMENTS
set in Parameter "7 VOICE
I
ZONE
SELECT"discussed below.
7 VOICE I ZON E SELECT
You are given four different ways to play the voices in a SPLIT:
2 I 4
allows you to play Voices 1
&
2 from the LOWER ZON E and
Voices 3,
4,
5
&
G from the UPPER ZONE.
4 I 2
assigns Voices 1 , 2, 3
& 4
to the LOWER ZON E and Voices
5
&
G to the UPPER ZONE.
6
I O
assigns all six Voices to the LOWER ZONE and no Voices to
the UPPER ZON E.
O I
6 assigns all six Voices to the U PPER ZON E and no Voices to
the LOWER ZON E.
The question becomes "Why would I want to have a ZONE play no Voices?"
The 6
I o
and
o I
6 options allow one ZONE to play the MATRIX-GR Voices
o nly and the other to play another M I D I instrument only, as one possibility.
Just be sure to turn ON the M I D I for that ZONE in either "2 LEFT M I DI
OUTPUT" or "S RIGHT M IDI OUTPUT".
