Modes
MicroMonsta 2 can be globally set to 3 different modes that can be changed anytime in SYSTEM menu.
They affect the number of available sounds MicroMonsta 2 can play at the same time and the way it
responds to incoming MIDI signals
Monotimbral
In monotimbral mode, you can play 1 sound at the same time, with 12-voice polyphony.
Sending a MIDI bank change / program change on MicroMonsta 2 MIDI channel will change the
currently selected program.
Bitimbral
In bitimbral mode, you can play 2 sounds at the same time on 2 different MIDI channels, each sound
having 6 voices polyphony.
Program A is accessed on main MIDI channel (the one set in SYSTEM menu), while Program B is
accessed on main MIDI channel + 1.
By sending a MIDI bank change / program change on one of those 2 MIDI channels, you can change the
preset loaded in Program A or B.
This mode is ideal when used with an external sequencer.
Combi
In combi mode, you can combine up to 2 different programs in 4 different ways
• only A : same as monotimbral mode
• stack AB : 2 sounds played at the same time on the same MIDI channel
• split AB : 2 sounds at the same time on the same MIDI channel, but the keyboard is split
• mult AB : 2 sounds at the same time on 2 different MIDI channels (same as bitimbral mode)
By sending a MIDI program change in combi mode, you load an entire combi containing the combi
parameters AND both programs A and B.
In combi mode, it is not possible to change Program A or B independantly by sending a program change
message.
