This section of the Programmer's display tells what Patches are being
played by each of the 12 Voices:
• In SINGLE PATCH Mode, the display is simple: the 2-digit number directly
beneath each of the six titles corresponds to the actual Patch Number
displayed under the PATCH heading. Remember that in SINGLE PATCH
Mode all Voices play the same sound. Displaying the same Patch Number
is done to remind you that the Voices are homogeneous.
• In MULTI PATCH Mode, because you can assign a different Patch to each
Voice, it is possible to see a different Patch Number for each of thel 2
Voices.
The Programmer display allows you to view six Voices at once. You are able to
switch between the Voices 1 -6 display or the Voices 7-12 display, but only as
conditions permit. We will cover this operation later in the chapter.
11 VOICE GATEM Indication - Every time Voices are played ("Gated") on
the MATRIX-12, either from its own Keyboard or from MIDI, you are able to
verify which Voices are playing from this section of the display. If any of Voices
1 through 6 are gated, a little dot will appear next to its Patch Number in the
lower left-hand corner and will stay on as long as the note is being held.
Voices 7 through 12 are indicated by dots appearing between the two Patch
Number digits. This handy little feature is active at all times with the exception
of during the execution of any of the Cassette or MIDI SEWDfunctions.
4. CURRENT PAGE
This section of the Programmer's display shows the name of the Page
currently being displayed in the PAGE MODIFIER Section.
• You can select any of the MATRIX-12's Pages for editing and its name
will be displayed in this section of the display.
• If the synthesizer is in MULTI PATCH Mode, a little dot will be displayed
to the left of the Page Name, in the lower left-hand corner to remind
you that the MATRIX-12 is in MULTI PATCH Mode. In SINGLE PATCH
Mode, the indicator dot is removed from the display.
• The CURRENT PAGE will also show if a Modulation Destination has
been selected in Patch Edit (covered in Part 3). In this instance,
our little dot will be displayed to the right of the Page Name, in the lower
right-hand corner.
Because only eight characters have been allocated for the CURRENT PAGE
section of the Programmer Display, you will see some very strange
abbreviations displayed.
