The external device as the MATRIX-12fs Master will play six of its Voices
independently. You can play the six Voices assigned to ZONE 2 from the
MATRIX-12(s Upper Keyboard area (ZONES 2 and 3 LIM ITS were used to Split
the Keyboard) without interference from the Master controller. The MATRIX-12fs
Lower Keyboard area will play the Slave synthesizer independently.t
Throughout this discussion, it was mentioned that the examples can be used in
either SINGLE PATCH Mode or in MULTI PATCH Mode. Just remember that you
may STORE any of these examples in a MULTI Patch if you wish.
If you have been experimenting in SINGLE PATCH Mode, remember that these
settings are not programmable per Patch and will affect all SINGLE Patches
Globally. Also, these settings will remain as they are until you change them, even
t There is, however, one potential conflict with Controllers in the examples
given. Since the MATRIX-12 does not make a distinction between Local and
MIDI Controllers, you may experience the effect of the Levers, Pedals and
Pressure transmitted from the Master instrument on the Voices assigned to play
on the MATIX-12 only. Likewise, your use of the Levers, Pedals and Pressure
on the Voices assigned to play from the MATRIX-12fs Keyboard may also affect
the Voices assigned to play from the Master instrument. Vibrato (LEVER 2 or the
MIDI Vibrato Wheel) is a Global modulation that will be present in the examples
given above.
The solMtion to this is to use different Controller Numbers in the MIDI CTRLS
Page. You will also need to match these new numbers with the Controller numbers
on the Master instrument.
