Multi Edit Mode - Alesis VX 49 Quick Start Manual

Multi Mode
Multi Mode lets you use your VX49 to control a multi in
VIP. A multi is collection of 2–8 patches (from 1 or more
plugins). Each patch is assigned to a slot, and each slot
has an assigned color. When using a multi, you can
simultaneously control volume, panning, solos, and mutes
for each slot in a mixer-style interface. You can do this
only when using VIP.
• Use the Page Left/Right buttons to move between
each view of 4 slots.
• Use the Cursors to select a slot.
• Press a switch to solo a slot.
• Press a pad to mute a slot.
• Turn an encoder to adjust the volume of a slot.
• Press Shift and turn an encoder to adjust the panning of a slot.
• Press the Data Dial to enter Multi Edit Mode.

Multi Edit Mode

Multi Edit Mode lets you edit the various settings of each
slot when using VX49 (keyboard range, transposition, MIDI
channel, and mute or solo status).
• Use the Cursors to select the parameter you want to
edit.
• Use the Data Dial to change a value or setting.
• Press the Multi Mode Button or Data Dial to exit
Multi Edit Mode and return to Multi Mode.
• To add a patch to a slot (or change a patch in a slot):
1. Press Browser to enter Browser Mode.
2. Use the Cursors to move to the Slot tab in the upper-right corner (S#). The number indicates the
currently selected slot of the multi.
3. Turn the Data Dial to select the desired slot (S1–S8) and then press the Data Dial.
4. Use the Data Dial and Cursors as you would in Browser Mode to select and load a patch. That
patch will then be loaded to the slot of the multi. Repeat Steps 2-4 to add more patches.
• You can still use the following Multi Mode controls while in Multi Edit Mode:
o Press a switch to solo a slot.
o Press a pad to mute a slot.
o Turn an encoder to adjust the volume of a slot.
o Press Shift and turn an encoder to adjust the panning of a slot.
o Use the Page Left/Right buttons to move between each view of 4 slots (the original slot's
parameters will remain in the display, though).
