Sequencing Multiple; Connecting Multiple Tone Generators - Yamaha qx21 Owner's Manual

SEQUENCING MULTIPLE
TONE GENERATORS
Connecting Multiple
Tone Generators
With
the
QX21
it
is
possible to
sequence more than
one tone generator
at
a
time— up
to a total
of
1
6—
by setting different
MIDI
recording
channel
numbers
for
each
"part"
which
is
to
be played by
a different
voice.
Since the data for
all
voices
is
output
from
the
QX21's
single
MIDI
OUT
terminal, the
tone generators used
must
be
"daisy-chained" together using
their
MIDI
THROUGH
terminals.
A
practical
mul-
ti-voice
setup using the
Yamaha DX11
synthesizer (as
recording
keyboard and
one
tone generator)
and one
or
more
Yamaha TX81Z
FM
TONE GENERATOR
units
is
shown
in
the following
system diagram.
