A Few Important Points About Multi Mode
• When the SQ-R is in MULTI mode, the sound you hear will always be the ^
sound on the track whose MIDI channel is being received, even if you have a ; . ti
different track displayed. [ J.
• Only one track can receive on a given MIDI Channel. If two (or more) tracks - *-'■
are set to the same MIDI Qiannel, the lower-numbered track will receive on that I \\
channel and any higher-numbered track(s) set to the same channel will not {j
receive at all. t;:
};.
• Each of the eight Preset tracks is completely independent and polyphonic. The i!
SQ-R's Dynamic Voice Assignment means each track can have up to all 21 ■ j j •
voices if it needs them. If all 21 voices are in use and a track needs a voice, it ?!
will "steal" the voice from the oldest note (or the one with the lowest voice j j.
priority). !..■■
■I.L
• The eight tracks respond independently to MIDI program changes, allowing t,i
you to assign a new sound to a track via MIDI. The selected program's effect f*
does not come with it — all of the eight tracks in the Preset share the same j];
effects setup, which can normally can be changed only by editing the effect ti •
from within Preset or by using the Copy Effect function from Sound Select tl;
mode.
• You can, however, cause a sound's effects set-up to become the Preset effect « x
(which will then be applied to all eight tracks) by sending program change # (;
124 immediately before the program change which selects the new sound for *j|'
the track (see "Receiving Program Changes" earlier in this section).
• In MULTI mode, if the Preset Prog parameter in the System bank is set to On, $
incoming program changes on the SQ-R's base MIDI channel will select new 'f
presets. Any individual track set to the same MIDI channel will not respond to
program changes. Therefore:
> If you wish to change Presets via MIDI while in MULTI mode, you should
set the base channel to one not used by any of the tracks.
> If you don't wish to change presets while in MULTI mode (as is often the
case) simply set the Preset Prog parameter in the System Bank to Off. (!;j;:;;
