The real time tracks (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower)
What are the real time tracks?
The real time tracks (Upper 1, Upper 2 e Lower) can be
used to play "live" over the automatic accompaniment
tracks.
You can have two tracks at the same time, since Upper
2 and Lower exclude one other.
If the real time tracks are managed through the special
Global channel, the split point – and the KEYBOARD
MODE section in general – are taken into consider-
ation. In this case:
• if the Keyboard Mode is SPLIT, the Upper tracks
can play above the split point and the Lower
track below the split point;
• if the Keyboard Mode is FULL UPPER, the
Upper tracks can play on the entire extension.
Note: If notes are received from channels other than
Global, the tracks will ignore the split point. If the
channel assigned to the track coincides with Global,
Global has the priority and the split point is taken into
consideration. For the assignation of the MIDI chan-
nels to the tracks and Global, see page 139.
Assigning the real time tracks
to the keyboard
If the i40M is connected to a MIDI keyboard through
the special Global channel (see pages 45 and 47), you
can assign the real time tracks to the keyboard areas
with the buttons in the KEYBOARD MODE section.

Activating and deactivating the
real time tracks
The real time tracks can be activated or deactivated in
two ways:

• using the UP1 and UP2/LOW buttons in the
PROGRAM/VOLUME section (press two but-
tons together to mute the track; press one button
to activate it again).
Note: The Upper 2 and Lower tracks exclude one other.
When UPPER 2 is selected, LOWER is automatically deac-
tivated, and vice versa.
