3. Define the ZONEs
• Press the ZONE button in the SINGLE/MULTI PATCH PAGE SELECT
Section. ZONE, as you remember, is written in grey lettering for MULTI
PATCH Mode functions.
Select ZONE 1. Set up ZONE 1 as follows:
Pagei: MODE = ROTATE
LIMITS = 0TO59
CHANNEL = OMNI
Page 2: Enable MIDI IN
• Press the ZONE button again in the SINGLBMULTI PATCH PAGE
SELECT Section. Select ZONE 2.
Set up ZONE 2 identical to ZONE 1 with the exception of:
LIMITS s 60 T0127
Play notes on your Master and notice that its keyboard has been split with one
Patch of the MATRIX-12 playing from the lower part of the keyboard and the other
playing from the upper. Changing the Left-LIMIT Number of ZONE 1 and the
Right-LIMIT Number of ZONE 2 shifts the Split Point. Try ZONE 1 = 0 TO 71 and
ZONE 2= 72 TO 127.
Option
The sound Patches can be reversed so that the Lower Patch plays from the
Upper keyboard area and the Upper Patch plays from the Lower keyboard area of
the Master. Just switch the LIMITSot the ZONES:
ZONE1: LIMITS = 60 T0127
ZONE 2: LIMITS - 0TO59
EXAMPLE #3 MATRIX-12 as a SLAVE in a 3-Way SPLIT
Again using the experimental MULTI as our starting point, follow the steps below
to achieve three Split Patches from the Master's keyboard. Each Split section will
be a 4-Voice. We will set up a third ZONE for this purpose ("ZONE 3", naturally)
but first, you should select the Patch that will play from the new ZONE.
1. Select the Patch for the New ZONE
• Press the Voice Bank Select button so that VOICES 1 -6 are selected.
• Press PATCH EDIT buttons 4 and 5 beneath the Programmer Display.
Use the Keypad to select the SINGLE Patch that you want to play from
the new ZONE 3.
