1. Prepare the data to be loaded:
A. Input sequence data for the second set of
five songs from the rhythm programmer to
the SY99 and save it to disk.
B. Input voice data from the tone generator to
the SY99 and save it to disk.
2. Prepare the master control setup:
A. Set the transmit channel for zone 1 to the
rhythm programmer's receive channel, and
the transmit channel for zone 2 to the tone
generator's receive channel.
B. Set the number of the MDR data set to be
transmitted to each zone when the control
setup is activated.
C. Set any initial messages you may want to
transmit (such as bank select/program
change for the tone generator) when the
control setup is selected.
D. When you are satisfied with your settings,
save the control setup to disk. It may be
convenient to save the setup, together with
the SY99 voice, multi, and sequencer data to
be used, as part of an "All Data" file.
3. Before performance, load all data to the SY99:
A. Load all synthesizer, sequencer, and setup
data to the SY99.
B. Load the rhythm machine and tone generator
data to the SY99's MDR memory area, us-
ing the memory numbers you specified in the
control setup.
4. During performance, activate the control setup
before the sixth song.
A. The MDR data specified will be transmitted
to the rhythm programmer and tone genera-
tor.
B. Bank select, program change, and other ini-
tial messages will be transmitted to the
external devices as specified.
In this way, you can change the setup of a
large number of MIDI instruments in an
instant, by pressing only a few switches on
the SY99's panel. And if you think this func-
tion saves tune when only two external de-
vices are connected to the SY99, you can
imagine how convenient it will be with an
even larger system!
Nor is this the only possible use of these
functions. With a little ingenuity and experi-
mentation you are sure to find even more
innovative uses for these flexible and handy
functions.
