MULTI Mode — The EPS-16 PLUS as Eight Independent Instruments
When you select MULTI mode on the EDIT/System•MIDI page, the EPS-16
PLUS becomes eight "virtual instruments," each receiving on its own MIDI
channel, but all sharing the same twenty voices.
• On the EDIT/System•MIDI page, set the MIDI In mode parameter to MIDI IN
M0DE=MULTI.
• For each instrument, set the MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL parameter, found on
the EDIT/Track page. The MIDI channels you select for each track should
correspond to the MIDI channels that will be sent from the external sequencer.
Some Important Points about MULTI Mode
• Each of the eight Instrument•Tracks is completely independent and polyphonic.
The EPS-16 PLUS' dynamic voice assignment means that each track can have
up to all twenty voices if it needs them. If all twenty voices are in use and a
track needs a voice, it will "steal" the voice from the oldest note playing.
• In MULTI mode it doesn't matter what instruments are selected or stacked on
the front panel, the sound(s) you hear will depend entirely on what MIDI
channel(s) the data is received on.
• In MULTI mode, program changes received by a given Instrument•Track on its
MIDI channel will cause the EPS-16 PLUS to try to load a disk file into that
Instrument•Track, replacing the instrument currently in that location.
• When using a MIDI sequencer it's generally a good practice to assign a certain
MIDI channel (or channels) to each instrument in your rig and always leave it
set to that channel.
• When recording in MULTI mode, the RECORD SOURCE parameter on the
EDIT/Seq•Song page must also be set to MULTI.
