Creating Your Original Program Set (Master mode)

Creating Your Original Program Set
The Master mode is the highest mode in the MO hierarchy, letting you instantly switch between programs you've created in
the Voice, Performance, Song and Pattern modes. Use the Master mode in one of the following ways:
Storing your favorite programs
This lets you register settings that you often use in the Voice, Performance, Song or Pattern mode, and instantly recall the
mode and custom settings together in a single button press, without having to first select a mode. It also lets you set up a
sequence of custom programs—for example, when playing different songs live—and smoothly switch from setting to setting
as needed.
Playing as a master keyboard
This lets you divide the keyboard into four separate sections—just as if you were playing four different MIDI keyboards. You
can also separately play the sounds of the MO and the sounds of connected MIDI devices—all from the MO keyboard—by
assigning each zone to a different MIDI channel. Moreover, you can use the Control sliders to tweak the sound of each as
desired.
Selecting a Master
The MO features 128 specially programmed Masters. Try some of these out now.

Select a Master.
Selecting a Master is done in basically the same way as selecting a Voice. Since there is only one bank for Masters, you
need not select a Master bank.
3
Play the selected Master program.
When the Mode is set to Voice or Performance, play the keyboard.
When the Mode is set to Song or Pattern, press the [F] button.
