single-sounds
As soon as the TECHNOX receives MIDI data, this will be displayed in the upper line of the LCD. The 16
MIDI channels on which the TECHNOX receives notes are represented by the 16 bars of the first display
line. When the TECHNOX receives note-data, the display changes from "TECHNOX" to a level-meter-
like bargraph display, where the deflection of the different bars depends upon the velocity of the MIDI-
events.
In this mode, TECHNOX receives MIDI data on all 16 MIDI channels. Please make sure that your MIDI
keyboard is sending out MIDI data on the appropriate MIDI channel. If you're working with a MIDI
sequencer, the MIDI channel has to be selected within the sequencer (either hard- or software sequencer).
To select your single sounds you have to know the MIDI channel for the corresponding part, where part
1 corresponds to MIDI channel 1, part 2 to MIDI channel 2, and so on.
You will see the actual part number on the lower line of the LCD display left beneath the sound number
of this part. If your keyboard or your sequencer is sending out data on MIDI channel 6, you should also
select part number 6 on the TECHNOX. You can select the part number with the "PART/BANK" keys.
The MIDI monitor will show you a star symbol (*) for the selected part in one of the 16 possible positions.
When the star symbol and the bargraph appear both on the same position on the display, thecorrect part
has been selected.
Single-sounds will be selected in the following way:
"PARAMETER/SOUNDGROUP"-
Alpha-Dial:
"VALUE/SOUND"-Alpha-Dial:
"PART/ BANK"-keys:
An exception is part #10 ( MIDI channel 10 respectivly). This channel is the "home part" of the drum-sets
of your TECHNOX. So you can't select single-sounds for this part. In the next section you'll learn how
to select and play your drum-sets from your MIDI machinery.
6.) Playing the
Switch your MIDI keyboard (or sequencer) to MIDI send channel 10; then you'll be able to play the drum-

sets of the TECHNOX. Now change to part #10 by using the "PART/BANK" keys. The LCD will display the
name of the current drum-set instead of a single-sound. You can change the drum-set with the "VALUE/
SOUND" Alpha-dial. Even if it's possible to select a drum-set for any of the 16 parts, only on part 10 it is
assured that the drums are correctly tuned and that you have FX sends, pan and volume settings for each
of the drum instruments. User-defined drum-sets can be selectedonly on part #10.
Each MIDI note on your keyboard corresponds to a different drum-sound. You'll find the appropriate
settings of the different drum-sets in chapter 22, pg. 44-48.
So - now you already know a lot about the manifold sound-capabilities of the TECHNOX. Of course they
may be edited in order to satisfy your musical needs. In the next sections you'll get all the necessary
informations about sound-editing.
7.) Editing the
As already mentioned before, the TECHNOX offers you a total of 16 different parts, where part #10 is the
single-sounds dedicated drum-set channel. But you can assign different instruments to all the other parts, and each
„part-sound" may be edited to your taste. TECHNOX has no memories for edited single-sounds, but
combinations of part-edits may be stored in performance-memories or sequencer-multi-setups. This
allows you to use the same single-sound in different performances with different sound settings. The
editing of one single-sound in one performance has no effect on other performances; each performance
is unique, even if it may use the same single-sounds.

The Single-sounds of the TECHNOX are divided into sound groups.
This makes it easier to find a specific sound.
With the second dial you can select a single-sound.
By pressing this key you select the part for which you want to change the
single-sound.
