Chapter 7: Routing, Channelizing And Muting Window; When To Use The Routing, Channelizing And Muting Window - OPCODE STUDIO 4 Instruction

CHAPTER 7:
WHEN TO USE THE ROUTING,
CHANNELIZING AND MUTING
WINDOW
Use this window to set and view all of the
routing, channelizing and muting set-
tings in the Studio 4. All settings are
retained by the Studio 4 and, along with
the settings in the Network Routing win-
dow, can be saved to the Macintosh as a
Studio 4 state (see Chapter 8).
The Routing, Channelizing and Muting
window (RCM window, for short) is used
for:
• Routing MIDI data (including
timecode)
For example, in a "live" situation you
might route various controllers to var-
ious devices or groups of devices.
You can even merge any combination
of MIDI inputs so that more than one
controller can play the same MIDI
device.
• Channelizing MIDI data
You could, for example, change the
transmit or receive channel of an
older "fixed-channel" MIDI device.

Routing, Channelizing and
Muting Window
•
NOTE: MIDI routing can also be per-
formed by a sequencer or by OMS patches
(discussed in the Studio Patches Editor
manual). If you've designed a routing in
the Routing, Channelizing and Muting
window that doesn't seem to perform prop-
erly, make sure that your sequencer (or
OMS patch) doesn't have a conflicting rout-
ing scheme. It's up to you to keep track of
MIDI routings.
Muting unnecessary MIDI data
For example, if your master keyboard
generates aftertouch, but you don't
want some of your sound modules to
respond to aftertouch, you could
mute the aftertouch outputs to those
devices.
