Organisation of MIDI-Channels

In a masterkeyboard-program you can fix the synthesizer which you will load on keyboard. By changing
only the program-number of the CYBER-6 you can change between different synthesizer, between layer
and split setups and so on. With Cyber 6 you can use eight keyboard- zones at the same time. The zones
can lay on the top of each other or side by side. Every zone has a key-window which is described with the
"lowest key"- and the "highest key"-parameter.

To have an independent access to different synthesizers which are connected to the same midi-out-
put, it´s necassery to set them to different midi-channels. Multimode-synthesizers like our quasar
have different midi-channels in one box, so that it can be used like several independent synths.

It makes no sense to use the same midi-channels for different sections of the CYBER-6. You can not use
the same channel for masterkeyboard and motivator at the same time because your synthesizer will not
work at the same time with more than one program at one midi-channel.
When you use certain midi-channels in the masterkeyboard-programs and all motivator-programs and
other midi-channels in motivators and sequencers you can combinate all motivator- programs whith every
masterkeyboard-programs without risk of a double reservation. It is also possible to combine all

Using Cyber 6 as

grams

You will get very soon an impression of different kinds of utilization of Cyber 6. Using all the presented
example-programs you will avoid a lot of work. If you have erased the example- programs you will get
them back by initialization (total initialization of Cyber 6, page 57).

Now you know the complex features of Cyber 6. But if you want to have only a very simple MIDI-
keyboard, which would send only your handmade keyboard-playing to expanders or sequenzers, try the
next function of CYBER-6. With the following mode Cyber 6 sends on only one midi-channel like any
other standard synthesizer or keyboard. The realtime-controllers are assigned to the standard controllers.
You will find this mode on display-page 3 of main-menu. After dialing this page with alpha-dial you
should get following display-report (program numbers and volume-amount can vary):

< 3> CYBER-6 Volume: 100
