Casio VZ-10M User Manual

MULTI CHANNEL MODE
‘The MULTI CHANNEL mode is basically a performance mode, which
makes advanced use of MIDI - the Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
‘The VZ-IOM is capable of receiving MIDI performance messages in 2 num-
ber
of
ways;
(1)
With
16-note
polyphony,
wherein
all
notes
and
perf
‘mance data transferred using the same MIDI channel (MIDI mode 3-omni
off/poly), and (2) With 8-note polyphony, wherein each of the MIDI
“Multi-Channel Area 1-4 or $8” is assigned an individual, independent
timbre with 2-note polyphony.
Each AREA can be assigned an independent sound, a polyphonic value
(maximum number of note which may sound at one time for the speci-
fied area), output level, and the MIDI Send/Receive channel number.
‘Through this operation, you can freely set up to 8 polyphonic MIDI chan-
nels, however it’s important to remember that the VZ-I0M polyphony re-
‘mains unchanged - 16 notes maximum. Because ofthis, the sum polyphonic
value for all 8 Multi Areas is - drum roll please - "16.
Now that you understand the basic theory of VZ-10M operations,
the “BIG” picture becomes clearer;
1 —Write, edit and recall individual patches using the NORMAL
mode.
“Combine” patches to make multi-timbral setups (combined
sounds) in the COMBINATION mode. (Remember that you
‘can write and edit patches individually as in the NORMAL
mode as well.)
3 —Write patches and combined sounds to any of 64 operation
memories and recall them for performance in the OPERA-
‘TION MEMORY mode.
‘4 —Create up to 8 polyphonic MIDI “Multi Areas” in the MUL-
TI CHANNEL mode.
