Chapter IV - Sequencer
1. General
The MULTIPLAYER plays, manipulates and stores songs in the Standard Midi File format (file
extension => *.MID ). The easiest way to work is therefore to load in disks containing Midifiles
(recommended in format SMF1). This allows songs on Atari ST or MS-DOS disks to be loaded
straight in without any special procedures. If your songs are on disks of a different format (like the
special format of a Synthesizer etc.), or not saved as Midifiles, you should play them on the origin
unit and record them in the MULTIPLAYER via its MIDI inputs. Since the MULTIPLAYER uses extremely
high resolutions (up to 1/1536
th
s) the copy will be incredibly faithful to the original. This is important
for those who want to change their system (and the “old“ system does not support the SMF format).
Although the MULTIPLAYER has functions to record a Midifile, together with possibilities to
change main controllers (like time measure, Program changes, Control changes, Volumes etc.), it
chrystallized (e.g. for songwriters/-programers) not to be a real competitor to the immense
possibilities of a software sequencer in a personal computer. The main idea of the MULTIPLAYER is
to be a perfect playback machine, with extraordinary functions to perform Midifiles, and helpful
operations to revise a Song “on tour“.
MIDITEMP has placed a lot of uncommon, but in its efficience incredible profitable, ideas
into the MULTIPLAYER to reach an extraordinary flexibility on stage for musician:
*
First the
playlist
(called the “ASSIGN“), in which you sort your (on stage) needed
Midifiles in your personal order, so you easily can call them up by songnumber. Using
this ASSIGN you even can work with a Midifile without reprogramming in different ways
(e.g. in different bands, for different purposes in several tunings etc.)
*
Second the “perfomance mode“. Here you can create (and store for each songnumber
seperately) loops e.g. to repeat songparts, or jump to decided bar positions. Here you
can transpose songs, or change temporarily the tempo, find tools to edit songs ...
*
Third you can create
Jobs
. Programing those you work with a determined sequence of
songs, can automatically switch Matrix programs between them and program
predestinated navigations for the footswitch(es).
*
Fourth you have the possibility to steer Audio files via your Midifle (e.g. to “fly“ in a
backing choir). Think e.g. your guitar player has no choice to play a job – you just
record him at home on your personal computer and playback this origin instrument
track coordinated and simultaniously with your Midifile on stage ...
*
Last but not least we have to mention the optional possibilities like the lyrics board (to
display a songtext via the viedo out on a TV set) or FORNET, which hands users of the
MP88 –X- or PMM 88E- / MT 16-X-units the incredible possibility to work in a Midifile
with up to some dozend different MIDI ports, controlled via one controller!
