Now you know the complex features of Cyber 6. But if you want to have only a very simple MIDI-
keyboard, which would send only your handmade keyboard-playing to expanders or sequenzers, try the
next function of CYBER-6. With the following mode Cyber 6 sends on only one midi-channel like any
other standard synthesizer or keyboard. The realtime-controllers are assigned to the standard controllers.
You will find this mode on display-page 3 of main-menu. After dialing this page with alpha-dial you
should get following display-report (program numbers and volume-amount can vary):
wished input
desired input
Changing of midi channel of keyboard
Changing of program-change-bank
Changing of program-change-number
Changing of volume
With "cursor"- buttons you can select the parameters. With "number"- or "+/-" -buttons you can change
the corresponding amount. During the selection of the midi-channel you will see, that according to the
selected channel - bank changing and program numbers are yet visible.
Organisation of
In a masterkeyboard-program you can fix the synthesizer which you will load on keyboard. By changing
the MIDI-chan-
only the program-number of the CYBER-6 you can change between different synthesizer, between layer
nels
and split setups and so on. With Cyber 6 you can use eight keyboard- zones at the same time. The zones
can lay on the top of each other or side by side. Every zone has a key-window which is described with the
"lowest key"- and the "highest key"-parameter.
To have an independent access to different synthesizers which are connected to the same midi-out-
put, it´s necassery to set them to different midi-channels. Multimode-synthesizers like our quasar
have different midi-channels in one box, so that it can be used like several independent synths.
It makes no sense to use the same midi-channels for different sections of the CYBER-6. You can not use
the same channel for masterkeyboard and motivator at the same time because your synthesizer will not
work at the same time with more than one program at one midi-channel.
When you use certain midi-channels in the masterkeyboard-programs and all motivator-programs and
other midi-channels in motivators and sequencers you can combinate all motivator- programs whith every
masterkeyboard-programs without risk of a double reservation. It is also possible to combine all
