1.4b Studio Use with a Sequencer
In this situation you will probably want to set up for multi-timbral operation.
There are four independent multi-timbral setups, each called a Multi. Each
"instrument" in a Multi must be set up individually.
1. Determine the MIDI channels to which you want to assign DPM V3 pro-
grams. The DPM V3 will play back up to sixteen channels simultaneous-
ly. If needed, the same program can be assigned to more than one
channel. Caution: The DPM V3 cannot play more than 16 notes at a
time. Therefore, assigning multiple programs to multiple channels in-
creases the odds that newly-played notes will "steal" older notes that are
still sounding. See section 1.5 for more information about how the
DPM V3 reacts when asked to play more than 16 voices at a time.
2. Press the MIDI master button. The display shows the MIDI Channel and
Mode.
3. Press the Right Arrow button. The parameter under MIDI Channel
flashes. Select 01 for now.
4, Press the Right Arrow button again. The parameter under Mode will
flash. Select Multi mode.
