Selecting Multis Remotely Via Midi - Akai S6000 Operator's Manual

MULTI

SELECTING MULTIS REMOTELY VIA MIDI

If you have numbered multis to select them remotely via MIDI, you also need to specify which MIDI
channel will be used for the multi's program change command. This is set in the UTILITIES mode
in the MIDI page:
First it is necessary to enable remote selection of multis by switching MULTI SELECT (F3) to ON.
You must also set the MIDI channel you want the multi select MIDI program change commands to
be received on using MULTI SLCT CH (F4). Once set, any MIDI program change commands
received on that channel will cause the appropriate multi to be selected.
NOTE: The MIDI channel designated for receiving MIDI program change commands for remote
multi selection is automatically disabled for selecting programs via MIDI program change
commands. Therefore, be sure to set a MIDI channel that you know won't be required for
selecting programs.
The MULTI SELECT parameter also allows you to use MIDI BANK change commands to remotely
select multis. In this case, the numbers set in RENUMBER still apply but they will be selected
using the MIDI bank change command instead of MIDI program change. This has the advantage
that all 16 MIDI channels are still available for selecting programs within parts.
