Multi Mode
In Multi mode, you can combine up to 8 sounds. Each sound in a Multi program is called
an Instrument because it has some additional settings that belong to the Multi and therefore
are not stored in the Sound program itself.
The are two main reasons for using a Multi program:
1. Using the MicroWave II/XT/XTk with a sequencer. In that case you want to use
several Sound programs at once, each assigned to a different MIDI channel.
2. Building layered sounds. By doing this you can get interesting combinations e.g. a
chord sound that fades into a string pad.
Of course, you can use both methods in combination.
Selecting Multi Mode
The first thing we have to do is to switch from Sound to Multi mode.
1. Press the
Play
button
햽
to return to the program select page. The display now
shows the program number and the name of the currently selected program:
2. Turn the third value dial
햾
clockwise. The
Mode
setting changes to
Multi. The
display now looks like this:
3. Use the Page Dial
햴
to select other Multi programs. Turning the dial clockwise
increases the program number, turning the dial counterclockwise decreases it.
On the XTk, you can also select Multi mode by pressing the key labeled
Multi
in the
numeric keys section
헁
while holding the
Select
button
헂
.
Initializing a Multi Program
The best method to create a new Multi program is to initialize an unused program and
adjust the disired parameters.
1. Use the Page Dial
햴
to select an unused program location (e.g. no.
100).
2. Press the
Utility
key
햷
while holding the
Shift
key
햽
.
3. Turn the Page Dial
햴
clockwise, until the display shows the Multi Init page:
4. Press the
Utility
key
햷
while holding the
Shift
key
햽
again. Your program is now
permanently initialized. The display shows:
