STRUCTURE
Once you have one or more programs in memory, these are then placed in a MULTI where they
can be played either singly or in combination with other programs. The multi mode allows up to
128 programs to be played simultaneously.
In the MULTI mode, the individual programs that go to make up a multi may be mixed, tuned,
routed to individual outputs and/or the internal effects processor (if installed on the S5000).
Up to 128 multis may reside in memory at any one time, each one containing a different combination
of programs. Different multis may share programs (for example, several multis may use the same
drum program or piano sound, whatever).
The overall structure of a multi, therefore, might look something like this:
AMBI DRUM SET (Multi Part 1) has sixteen keygroups/samples, each assigned to their own separate
notes whilst the program HIRES MINI BASS (Multi Part 2) has three keygroups/samples.
MELLOTRON CHOIR (Multi Part 3) has ten keygroups/samples whilst TRAD E.PF (Multi Part 4
contains just five. LEGATO VLNS (Multi Part 5) has seven keygroups/samples mapped out across
C1-C6 whilst JAZZ GUITAR (Multi Part 6), like TRAD E.PF uses five samples. In this example,
each sound is being played on its own MIDI channel and shows a typical multi-timbral setup. The
same, of course, would be true of other parts (7-128) although some parts may be layered and
some could have keyboard splits set..
There are no hard and fast rules about how samples are assigned to keygroups (and hence
programs) and likewise, there are no rules on how programs are assigned to a multi and each
situation will vary according to the sound and the application.
Multis, samples and programs are saved to disk and can be subsequently loaded back into memory
at any time.
