exercise 6: assign-
To get to know the operation of the MIDI - controllers, you should include the assignment of the modula-
ing the realtime-
tion-sources in the masterkeyboard -programs that you have already programmed. Therefore use particu-
controllers
larly the already known function not to activate the modulation-sources for all zones simultaniously but
just for some selected ones.
The following examples would be conceivable as exercises:
1.) Program a layer-sound, which exists of two simultaneously sounding
pad-sounds. Attribute the wheel 1 to the MIDI-controller No. 10 "panorama" . Activate this modulation-
source for both zones and invert the effect of the wheel for one zone. If you hold the wheel in a middle-
position when playing, your pad-sound comes from the middle of the loudspeakers. If you move the
wheel upwards the both involved
pad-sounds are pulled apart. If you move the wheel over the entire range both sounds change the sides.
2. ) Program a layer-program with three overlapping partial-sounds.
Assign the modulation-sources Control 1 to Control 3 (realtime-controls) with the MIDI-controller 7 "Vol-
ume". At each zone only respectively one of the three regulators should be activated. Now with the three
regulators you can control the level of the three partial-sounds independently, as if using a mixing desk.
Naturally there are numerous further examples for the use of the modulation-sources. Leave your creativ-
ity free course. The more time you invest in an individual program, the more fun you will have with it later.
Footswitch
If you own footswitches you can also provide these with different functions. Before you turn on the
assignment
CYBER-6 the footswitches should already be connected to the corresponding sockets, so that the CYBER-
6 can ascertain the polarity of the switches. There are sensors that interrupt a connection when being
switched and there are sensors which make a connection when being switched. The CYBER-6 works with
both kinds of sensors. To determine the function of the sensors call up again the Edit-submenu 13 of the
edit-menus of the masterkeyboard. You receive the following message on the display:
The footswitches can either send MIDI-controllers or - in case of the footswitch 2 - control the sequences
and motivators. As it makes no sense to execute these steerings simultaneously over a sensor, the footswitch
2 has no function concerning internal functions in the masterkeyboard-section. If this exclusiveness would
not exist, the starting of the sequencer by a footswitch could cause e.g. simultaneously the enduring of a
sound or the activation of a portamento on one of the zones. The programming of internal steerings
of the footswitch is described in the chapter "assignment of special functions for footswitch 2" on page 56.
The following MIDI-controllers or internal steerings can be achieved with the footswitches:
