EDITING
PROCEDURE
Press the
1
14 switches to select
the
parameters.
Most
Per-
formance Parameters have independent settings for instru-
ments
1-8.
The
LCD
has space to
show only four instruments
at
once, so
an
arrow on
the
edge of
the
lower
line
indicates
that there
is
more
data
to
be
seen.
Move
the
cursor to
set
the data for
instruments 5-8. Use
the
DATA ENTRY
slider
and
switches to
change
the
data value
at
the
blinking cursor.
If
the
Max
Notes setting (see
[2]
Maximum
Notes) of an
instrument
is
0,
that
instrument
is
inactive,
and
its
data
will
be indicated
by
a "*'\
(You
can not
edit
an
inactive in-
strument.) In the
example below, instruments 2
and
3
are
inactive.

THE
PERFORMANCE
EDIT
BUFFER
When
you
select a
Performance
Memory,
the data
is
loaded
into the
Performance
Edit Buffer,
and
this
data
tells
the
DX
1
1
how
to
behave.
Changes you
make
in
Edit
mode
affect this
buffer,
and
are not
permanent
until
Stored into
one of the
Performance
Memories
1
32.
(See
Storing
A
Performance,
p.l4.)

Assign
Mode
There
are
two Key Assign
Modes.
Normal mode: Incoming
MIDI
Note
On
messages (or the
keyboard)
will
play the
instrument
that
has
a
matching
Receive
Channel
(see
[2]
Maximum
Notes).
Allernale
mode:
This
is
rather
special.
Only instrument
i
is
used, but the voice
data used
will
depend on
how many
16
notes are already sounding.
Eunction
settings
(channel,
note
limit,
portamento,
etc.) will
always be the settings
of instrument
1.
Each
sucessive
note
will
alternate
through the
instruments. Setting
each instrument
to a
slightly
different
voice
can
be quite effective.
[2]
Maximum
Notes (0—8)
This
sets
the
maximum number
of notes
that
an
instru-
ment can
produce.
The
DXl
1
can produce
a total
of
up
to 8
notes
at
once.
These
8
notes
must be divided
among
8
instruments.
If
one instrument
is
to
play
chords
of
up
to
8 notes, the
Max
Notes setting for
the other
7
instruments
must
be
0.
Any combination
is
possible.
If
Max
Notes
is
set
to
0,
that
instrument
will
be inactive.
When
editing
other
Performance Parameters,
a "*''
will
appear
in
place
of an
inactive
instrument's data,
and you
will
not be able
to edit
it.
A Max
Notes
setting
of
1
is
not exactly the
same
as setting
the voice to
Mono
mode.
See
p. 12. ,<f
[3]
Voice
Number
Select
the voice
number
for
each instrument.
Use
the
Data Entry
slider to step
through voices.
The upper Hne
of the
LCD
will
show
the
Voice
Name
for the
instrument
indicated
by the blinking cursor. If
the
Performance
was
selected
from
a cartridge,
you
will
not be able to
select
voices
from bank
I
(internal).
The
idea
is
that
cartridge
performances should use cartridge (or
ROM)
voices, since different
voices
may
be
in
bank
1
next time
you
use
the cartridge.
[4]
MIDI
Receive Channel
Select the
MIDI
reception
channel
(1
- 16
or
omni)
for
each
instrument.
Remember
that the
keyboard
will
play
only
the
voices
which are receiving the
same channel
as the
Keyboard Transmit channel
(p. 18).
When
set
to
"omni", messages on any channel
(1-16)
will
be
re-
^
ceived.
For
details
on
how each instrument receives
incoming
MIDI
messages, see [18]
MIDI
Channel Information
and
[19]
Program Change
on
p. 18.

Note Limit
Low/High
Each instrument can be limited to
a certain range. In-
coming notes outside of
this
range
will
be ignored.
You
can use the
Low
and High note Umits
to
create a
"split" effect.
One instrument could play notes
below
C3,
and another instrument
(set
to a different voice)
play
notes
above D#3.
You
can
set
the
Low
limit
above
the
High
limit, in
which
case the
instrument
would play notes
at
the
ends of
the
keyboard and not
in
the
middle
range.
You
can overlap
the
range of
several
instruments
to
create
complex sounds.
