3.2 The WHOLE and SPLIT modes
3.2 The WHOLE and SPLIT modes
The CM100 sound module has two different modes for the reception of MIDI messages, called WHOLE
and SPLIT. They are selected using a special button on the instrument's front panel.
In the WHOLE (or "single manual") mode, the whole of the instrument responds to the MIDI commands
resident on a single channel. This is the standard mode of most sound modules, and is particularly useful
when the CM100 is controlled using a keyboard, or using organs with more than one manual when only
one manual is assigned to control the module.
With the SPLIT mode selected, on the other hand, the CM-100 will be able to give different responses
to several midi channels at a time, each of them with its own stop setup (settable by the user) .
For example, with SPLIT mode the user can have stops 1, 2 and 3 responding to the MIDI 1 channel,
while stop 4 responds to the MIDI 3 channel and the other stops to the MIDI 5 channel. In the final
analysis, in SPLIT mode each stop can be assigned its own channel.
Obviously, this mode is particularly useful when the CM-100 is to be controlled using organs which have
several manuals, each of them with its own stop setup.
