MULTI
PLAYING LIVE OVER A SEQUENCED BACKING TRACK
As well as 32-channel multi-timbral operation, the two MIDI inputs also allow you to play one or
more sounds 'live' from a keyboard or other MIDI controller through one MIDI input whilst the other
input is fed by a sequencer to provide a 16-channel multi-timbral backing track. Such a multi may
look something like this:
In this example, the GRAND PIANO is the part you would play live through MIDI input B whilst the
other parts are sequenced via MIDI input A.
USING THE S6000 AS TWO SAMPLERS
Sometimes (especially in live situations), it is useful to have two keyboards on stage. This allows
you to play two sounds simultaneously and/or allows you to quickly switch between sounds without
having to mess around with program changes. By connecting one keyboard to MIDI input A and
the other to MIDI input B, you may effectively use your S6000 as two samplers! For example:
In this example, one keyboard would play the GRAND PIANO sound whilst the other plays the
huge layered pad combination. In such a situation, you might benefit from a weighted keyboard to
play the grand piano sound and a synth action keyboard for other sounds.
Don't forget that to further enhance the S6000's capabilities in this application, the sounds played
by each keyboard could be routed to their own sets of outputs.
A further variation on this would be to have two musicians playing the S6000 simultaneously. For
example, you could be vamping away on piano, clav - whatever - whilst the band's drummer
triggers drum and percussion sounds from MIDI pads!
