to

mode, simply turn the Poly-600 off, wait a few seconds, and
then turn on again.

Note on Using the
Poly-800
In a
multi
Instrument
setup:
As noted above, when a Poly-600 is first turned on, its
mode is set to the
“OMNI
On” (receive data on all chan-
nels) mode. If you are going to use your Poly-600 and
other MIDI synths. drum machines, etc., with a multi-
channel sequencer or computer. then the sequen.
cericomputer should normally send a mode change mes-
sage to the Poly-600 and other synths to automatically
change them to the MULTI CH (OMNI
Otf)
mode.
If the sequencer or
compuier
does not send such mes-
sages, you can manually change the Poly-800 to the
MULTI CH (OMNI Off) mode by simply selecting the
RECEIVE CH parameter
(#
“86”).
[It
is not necessary
to change the channel number: merely selecting
parameter
66
changes the Poly-600’s mode.]
To return
to
the
“OMNI
On” mod.?, turn the Poly-800 off
and then on again. as noted above.

‘0’
(same connections as l-a above).

3-16/SEQ
CLK:EXT

Write the same number of steps into both sequencers
(if you want the Sequencers to remain locked together
after the first repeat).
Set the
SEQ
CLK parameter
(

of keyboard
‘A’
to INT
(Value :
).
Set SEO CLK on keyboard
‘8’
to EXT (Value
2
).
Set RCV CH
(

of keyboard
‘8’
to a channel other
than 2 (1 or 3-16).
Now, press the Sequencer START/STOP switch on keyboard
‘A:
The two Sequencers will play back together in perfect
‘sync:
r’ou
can start and stop both sequencers whenever you
like with the ‘A’ START/STOP switch, and they will always
restan
in perfect sync “from the top’:
.
YOU
can set ‘A’ and
‘6’
to different programs if you like,
.
You can also replace either
Synfhesizer
with a MIDI-
Compatible drum unit. to ‘sync’ the drum unit to the
Poly-600
or vice versa.
2. BOTH SYNTHESIZERS CONTROL EACH OTHER.
Using two MIDI cables as shown, you can link two
Syn-
thesizers together so that noles played on either keyboard
will also be played on the other synthesizer.
As
described above, the two units can use different programs.
Each unit can also be set up to respond to either keyboard
data, sequencer
dala
program change and/or joystick data
coming from the other unit.
3.
USING AN EXTERNAL
SECUENCER
(OR PERSONAL
COMPUTER WITH INTERFACE) TO CONTROL THE
POLY-600.
The
Poly-600
can be used with any MIDI-compatible Se-
quencer
(kither
real-time or step-time), or with a personal com-
puter equipped with a MIDI interface and appropriate software.
When using an external unit to’control the
Poly-600,
you
mus!
be careful not to try to play back more notes
SimUltaneOuSfy
than the
Poly-600
can handle. or notes will be
“fosl’:
. In WHOLE Mode, the
Poly-600
can play back
up
to
6
notes
simultaneously.
.
In DOUBLE Mode, the
Poly-600
can play back up to 4
nOles
simultaneously.
Two or more
Poly-600s.
set for different
MIDI
Receive Chan-
nels, can be connected to an appropriate unit to allow more
than
6
(4) notes (and more than one programmed sound) to
be played back simultaneously.
he
‘A’
SPEED control sets the playback speed for both se.
-&encers.
(The
‘Et’
START/STOP and SPEED controls have
no effect on EITHER sequencer.)
