The next step in Multi-Track Sequencing is to
determine how many parts will be needed and what
MIDI channels each should use.
Remember that channels 1-9 can be used to
control any of the 317 instruments on the PR-300;
channel 10 can be used to control any of the 10 drum
kits of the PR-300.
Please note that, if you intend to play any of the
PR-300 sounds live (or "real-time") while the
sequence is playing back, then the MIDI channels
needed for the instruments played live cannot be used
within the sequence.
For instance, if you wanted to play Orchestral
Strings live on channels 2, 3 and 4 (MIDI on Great,
MIDI on Swell and MIDI on Pedal, respectively),
then channels 2, 3 and 4 couldn't be used in the Multi-
Track Sequence.
Once the necessary instruments and MIDI
channels have been determined, we can begin
inputting the parts. For this example, MIDI channels
1 through 5 will be used.
We will use MIDI channels 1-5 to control PR-300 sounds.
The MIDI ON GREAT coupler (or MIDI GREAT A on larger
consoles) will be used to record all PR-300 sounds as it can send
on any of the 16 MIDI channels.
