Chapter 5: Editing Mixes
Playing a Group of Channels in a Mix
In Program Play Mode, you can use the MIDI [¨] and [Æ] buttons to set the MIDI IN
channel for the whole instrument. But when using the S4 Plus in Mix Play Mode, you
may need to be able to transmit on several MIDI channels from your MIDI keyboard,
in order to play the different channels within a Mix. However, there is a way to
"group" any number of channels in a Mix to all play simultaneously from a single MIDI
channel (in addition to responding to MIDI information on their individual channels).
This can be done by combining the Group parameter (found in Mix Edit Mode, Range
Function, Page 2, Quad Knob [4]) and the Mix Group Channel function (found in
Global Edit Mode, Page 2, Quad Knob [2]).
¿
From Mix Play Mode, press [GLOBAL].
¡
Press PAGE [Æ] to get to Page 2.
You will see "MIX GROUP CH: " in the top right of the display.
¬
Use the VALUE [¨] and [Æ] buttons or Quad Knob [2] to set the Mix Group
Channel between 1 and 16, or Off.
1–16. When the Group Mix Channel parameter is set between 1 and 16, the number
it is set to determines the single MIDI channel which, when MIDI information is
received on it, will play the channels in the selected Mix which have their Group
parameter turned on.
OFF. In this mode, the individual channels used by the selected Mix will only be
triggered by MIDI information received on its designated MIDI channel ( Example: the
sound on channel 1 will only respond to information received on MIDI channel 1, the
sound on channel 2 will only respond to information received on MIDI channel 2,
etc.), regardless of whether each channel's Group parameter has been turned on or
off. However, the MIDI In parameter for each channel must be turned on in order for
that channel to respond to incoming MIDI information on its own channel.
To turn on the Group function for a channel in a Mix:
¿
From Mix Play Mode, press [SELECT].
¡
Press FUNCTION [Æ] until the Range function is underlined.
¬
Press PAGE [Æ] until Page 2 is selected.
÷
Use the MIDI [¨] and [Æ] buttons to select a channel in the Mix.
ƒ
Turn Quad Knob [4] to turn on the Group parameter.
