TIP SILENCE
The program SILENCE can be found on all soundbanks on Program Change 127. The program allows you to „turn off" a MIDI channel while playing.
If you want to mute a MIDI channel via a MIDI controller, etc., it is not that easy while playing. Just choose the Program Change 127 and the channel becomes mute, and can be played back at any time by sending a Program Change with a sound.

BANK 22 and higher
If you call up a sound in MSB Bank higher then 22 you get no sound.

User interface and ports

Connect

To avoid possible damage to the loud speakers or other connected electronic devices, always connect all cables before turning on the amplifier. Turn on the Sonority XXL first before turning on any active loud speakers or amplifiers.

1. Make sure the POWER switch on the back of the device is in the OFF position
   (LED light is not on).
2. Plug the power adapter that came with the device into the DC port on the back of the unit.
3. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a power outlet. Make sure that the adapter is compatible with the power supply.
4. Connect the audio outputs to an amplifier, active loudspeakers or headphones.
5. Connect the MIDI or USB cable to the V3 unit.

To turn on

Before you turn the device on or off, make sure that all connected audio devices that amplify the audio signal (mixer, amplifier, active loud speakers) have their volumes turned down.

1. Press the POWER ON/OFF switch on the back of the device.
2. Turn up the V3 unit MAIN VOLUME knob to adjust the volume.
3. Adjust the volume on your mixer or active loudspeaker.

TIP
Turn the volume on the V3 unit as loud as possible, and then adjust the volume of the sound on your mixer.

Connect – USB keys

The V3 unit can be connected to any USB Audio Class 1 compatible keyboard.
The SONORITY XXL can supply your USB keyboard with a maximum of 100mA.
If your keyboard requires more than 100mA, you will need an external power supply.

Foot pedal

The polarity of the sustain foot pedal is set up automatically when you turn on the V3 unit. The pedal only works on MIDI channel 1.
Connect the foot pedal before turning on the device.

Aux out - 2nd stereo out

To use the AUX OUT for any MIDI channel, you must manually change the 4 internal switches and send a MIDI message on the specified MIDI channel.
The connection changes from 2 mono jacks to 2 stereo jacks.

Select sounds

The SONORITY XXL sound board is a 16-channel, multi-timbral MIDI tone generator.
Change sounds by sending a program change through MIDI.
Sustain pedal grabbing and the half pedal function are only active on MIDI channel 1.

ABOUT POLYPHONY
The unit offers 256 mono voices. Many sounds of the Sonority XXL use 6 voices per note.
If you hit 10 notes at the same time, 60 voices are used. If you hold down the sustain pedal, the 60 voices are sustained and still in use. If you play again, 60 more voices are needed.
So, do not forget to release the sustain pedal!
If you exceed the Polyphony, a clicking sound is audible.
