exercise 2: Playing different synthesizers
Also parameters of a menupage can be dialed with "cursor"- keys. Put the cursor to the desired parameter
and change it as follow:
desired function
selecting the midi-channels of zone
changing the lowest note of the key-window
changing the highest note of the key-window high key
Using the first edit-page of the masterkeyboard-edit menu, it is possible to select all con-

nected synthesizers. Please enter the used synthesizers and expanders - in accordance with
different synthesiz-
the dialed midi-channel - to setup-tables which are enclosed to Cyber 6. This facilitates the
ers
orientation of our midi-system.
It make sense to reserve groups of midi-channels for different sections of cyber-6. Then it´s
possible to combine different sequences, motivator-programms and masterkeyboard-set-
tings, because you don´t have problems with double used midi-channels. In our demonstra-
tion programms, we have reserved the first eight midi-channels for the motivators, channels
9 to 12 for sequences and the channels 13 to 16 for the masterkeyboard section.
By changing the midi-channel, you can now select and play all your synthesizers one after
another, when the are set to different receive-channels. If there is one expander or synth,
which correspond on every channel, it´s set to midi-omni-mode. In this case switch off the
OMNI-mode in accordance with your synthesizer-users manual. For best use in combina-
tion with the CYBER-6, use MULTI-mode or POLY-mode at your synths.
Changing of parameters "lowKey" and "highKey" enables you to restrict the synthesizers
playing to a key-window. Next step will be to dial another zone and to activate another midi-
channel. By using the same key-window in more than one zone with different midi-chan-
nels, you have the possibility to create rhich, fat stack sounds. Using the described param-
eters will enable you to put max. 8 synthesizers on the top of each other or side by side. If
you work with one multi-mode-expander and if several keyboard-sections load different
sounds of a single synthesizers of it you have to pay attention to polyphonie and instrumen-
tal-timing. The reason for timing-problems is often a problem of tone-generators and not a
problem of the Cyber 6.

Select the second menu-page of keyboard-edit with the alpha-dial. The following display-
