As
we ~entioned a bit earlier,
you can control a huge nuGber of NIDI
devices
"ith the NASTER KEYBOARD,
But let's not go overboard
to
start
off Nith:
for siaplicity's sake Me'll
assu•e that you'll be
working
with
three
MIDI
synthesizers
or expanders (Ne"ll
call
the•
MIDI
units),
a)l
of Nhich are capable of supporting the NIDI ONNION
and
ONNI
OFF •odes.
If
in doubt about which aodes your
instruments
can
handle
1
check
out
their
Users
Manuals
and
look
for
the
•NIDI
I~plementation•
section,
which should provide you with the neccessary
inforaation.
If you can't see• to locate it,
y-u should consult your
friendly dealer.
Dur first "101
Ch1nnel
Patch
Right
then,
let's
get started.
We'll begin
by
progra~1ing what
is
known
as
a
MIDI
Channel Patch - sounds
sophisticated
already,
but
don't panic, it's going to be painless •••• and
I
knoM that's what the
dentist
always said,
but this ti•e it's
true,
pro•ise!
While
the
confusing
range of words comaonly used to describe the 'sets' of data
stored in synthesizers,
expanders,
sequencers etc.
is more or
less
freely interchangeable,
we're going to be using the Mord 'P~tch' when
referring
to the infor•ation stored in the
NASTER
KEYBOARD's
•e•ory;
this
lets us save the Nord 'Prograe' to describe voice data in
other
NIDI
units - Nhich ought to cut down on the confusion!
A
MIDI
Channel Patch lets you divide the keyboard into three
zones.
Each of the zones can span Ntiatever key range you like,
and the three
ranges can even -0verlap.
Vou can send data for each zone (keystrokes,
progra•
change etc.
etc.I out on a different MIDI channel,
so
that
three MIDI units can be played completely independently.
ln that case,
of course
1
the NlDI units •ust previously have been set to receive on
the selected NIDI channels.
