You can now select any of the 8 available instruments — <Inst1> through <Inst8>
— in sequence by pressing the MULTI INST button. When any instrument is
selected, the parameters you select using the MULTI ASSIGN button apply to the
currently selected instrument.
This parameter sets the MIDI receive channel for the currently selected instru-
ment. The range is from 1 to 16, and "om" for the omni mode (the omni mode
allows reception on all 16 MIDI channels). Use the -1 and +1 buttons, or the
number buttons, to select the desired channel.
This parameter assigns one of the DS55's preset or user voices to the currently
selected instrument. With the Voice parameter selected, simply select the desired
voice using the normal voice selection procedure.
Pan determines whether the current instrument will appear to the left, center or
right of the stereo sound field. If "left" is selected, the instrument is delivered via
the L/MONO OUTPUT jack only. If "right" is selected the instrument is delivered
via the R OUTPUT jack only. If "centr" is selected the instrument is delivered via
both OUTPUT jacks.
Note:
If you are using the DS55 with a monaural sound system connected to the
DS55 L/MONO OUTPUT jack, the Pan parameter will have no effect.
Determines the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously by
the currently selected instrument. The maximum number of notes assignable to ail
instruments used is 8. So if you use all 8 instruments, each can only play 1 note. If
you only use 4 of the 8 available instruments, however, a number of Notes assign-
ment possibilities are available. For example:
Inst1 Inst2 Inst3 Inst4
2 notes 2 notes | 2 notes | 2 notes
1 note 2 notes | 3 notes | 2 notes
4 notes 2 notes 1 note 1 note
The number of notes you assign to an instrument will naturally depend on that
instrument's function. For example, you would normally need to assign several
notes to a piano, while one is sufficient for bass.
if Notes is set to "0," that instrument is turned OFF. All other parameter values
will appear on the display as "**" and can not be edited.
Note:
lf you attempt to add an additional voice in the MULTI-INSTRUMENT mode,
it is necessary that the total number of notes used by the existing voices is
less than 8.
