Global Mode
The Global Parameters
9-7
Program Mode
When you’re in Program Mode, the local keyboard channel remaps incoming information
to the Artis SE’s current channel. is ensures that MIDI sent to the local keyboard channel
will always play the Program on Program Mode’s currently selected channel. When using the
local keyboard channel all the MIDI information received on the Local Keyboard Channel
also gets sent to the Artis SE’s MIDI Out and USB ports on Program Mode’s currently
selected channel.
Multi Mode
ings are a bit dierent for playing Multis. In this case, you must use the Local Keyboard
Channel to be able to play and control all of the Multi’s Zones. Set Local Key Channel to
match the channel your external MIDI source is using (if for example your MIDI source
transmits on Channel 1, set Local Key Channel to 1). All MIDI information that the
Artis SE receives on the local keyboard channel gets remapped to the channels and control
destinations used by the Zones in the Multi.
e Artis SE also remaps certain MIDI Controller messages that it receives on the Local
Keyboard Channel, so that they correspond (in most cases) to the default assignments for the
Artis SE’s physical controllers (Mod Wheel, sliders, etc.). Physical controller assignments are
handled by Multis, and are dened per Zone in Multi Edit Mode. Each Zone of a Multi has
its own controller assignments.
Pressing Value Jump (both – & + buttons simultaneously) will set this parameter to None.
Sysex ID
e SysEx ID parameter determines the ID number for the unit if you are using more than
one device with the same MIDI manufacturer ID number. You can set this parameter to any
number from 0 to 127.
Unless you have multiple Artis SEs receiving Sysex messages from a single source, you will
not need to change the Sysex ID from the default setting of 0.
If you do have multiple Artis SEs receiving Sysex messages from a single source, make sure
each Artis SE has a dierent Sysex ID. is will allow you to direct Sysex messages to the
appropriate Artis SE by specifying which unit with the Sysex ID byte that’s included with
every Sysex message.
To have the unit respond to Sysex messages regardless of the Sysex ID, set Sysex ID to 127.
Pressing Value Jump (both – & + buttons simultaneously) will set this parameter to 0.
Objects/OS
e will display the system information indicating what version of operating system and
objects is currently installed in your Artis SE keyboard.
