8.5.5.2
Split
The Split mode allows playing several Programs on different parts of the keyboard. For example,
you can put a bass Program preset on the 2 first octaves and a lead Program preset on the upper
range of your keyboard. This is a very useful mode for live performance.
To create a Multi preset using a split between 2 Program presets is very simple:
set a range limit for the lower [Lo] and the higher note [Hi] for the first mixer slot (for example
from [C-2] to [B2]) and the range limits for the upper part for the second mixer slot (for example
from [C3] to [C8]).
Set the same MIDI channel for the both mixer slot (for example set them to [All]).
8.5.5.3
MIDI multitimbral mode
The MIDI multitimbral mode allows playing several Programs on different MIDI channels. This mode
is useful for creating arrangements using an external MIDI host sequencer.
Set a different MIDI channel for the different mixer slots: for example set the first one to
channel [1], the second one to channel [2], the third one to channel [3] and the fourth one to
channel [4].

Volume and front panel mixer in Multi mode
The audio level for each Program preset within the Multi is represented in the Multi [MIXER] screen
by the slider displayed at the bottom of each slot.
NOTE: The audio output signal of each Multi slot is directed automatically to its own Auxiliary
outputs jacks. The audio output of the first slot goes to the Auxiliary outputs 1/ 2, the second slot
goes to Auxiliary outputs 3/ 4, the third slot goes to Auxiliary outputs 5/6 and the fourth slot goes
to Auxiliary outputs 7/8. This allows you to make the mix of the current programs more convenient
using an external hardware mixer or directly inside a host audio sequencer.
However, there is also a more direct method for setting the level of each Program within a
Multi, and that is by directly changing the Volume knob in the [MIXER] section of the Origin front
panel. As you would expect, each Volume knob corresponds to each Program slot in the Multi.
Once you've set the volume levels to the desired balance, save the Multi and the values is
recalled when you load the Multi preset.
The [On/Off] buttons on Origin's front panel mixer can be used to toggle programs on or off.
This setting is saved with the multi and recalled when you load it again.
