This would require 4096 Performance memories
to set the pairs of patches up in advance, assign-
ing balance to CS 1.
Fortunately, there is a way to achieve A/B
balance control while not in Performance
mode. It requires editing MIDI IN Control Vol-
ume in each of the voices for which Dual mode
operation is desired. Once this parameter is
changed, it is important to note that these
voices will not sound at all in Single or Dual
modes unless a MIDI cable is used as described
below. Follow these steps:
1) Connect the MIDI OUT of the DX7
II
to its
own MIDI IN. (If the OX is controlling
another tone generator, connect the MIDI
OUT of the OX to the MIDI IN of the tone
generator, and connect the MIDI THRU of
the tone generator to the MIDI IN of the
OX.)
2) Press the Edit button, and then press the

MIDI 1 button (31) until you access the
MIDI IN display; set the MIDI Control
Number of CS1 to 11, and set the MIDI
Control Number of CS2 to 12. (Note that
this and the next step involve global
changes.)
3) Using the MIDI 1 button (31), access the
display that includes the "Local" parameter,
and set Local to OFF (or you will only get 4-
note polyphony from the OX in Dual mode).
4) Edit all of the Voice memories that you think
you might want in Dual
or
Split combina-
tions as follows: Using Voice Edit button 26,
set the MIDI IN Control parameter to a
value of 99.
Now, when you call up any of these voices in
the Dual or Split Voice modes, CS1 will control
the volume of Voice A, while CS2 will control
the volume of Voice
B.
