Setting Voice Limit For MID! Mono
MIDI mono is a little-usedand available mode. The MIDI mono mode in the Xk conforms to Mode 4
for a transmitter in the MID11.0 spec. When MIDI Mono is ON (set to 1) each new note played is sent
on he next higher MIDI channel. Compare this to MIDI Omni/Poly, where all the notes play are sent
on the basic channel Let's use an example to describe the use. Set the voice limit to 6 and set the
MIDI channel to 1. The first note played is sent on channel 1, the second on channel 2, the third on
channel 3, up to 6 or to whatever the voice limit is set for. Also, examine a second example- Set the
voice hmrt to 3 and set the MIDI channel to 10. The first note played is sent on channel 10 the
second on channel 11, the third on channel 12, the fourth note will play on channel 10 The
keyboard assignment mode is rotate. In the example below, the keyboard will rotate through 6
notes before starting over at the basic channel

Setting the Lower Keyboard Limit
Press one of the arrow switches until the l.e.d. next to Lower Limit is lit. Select the lowest note you
want playable with the keypad or select 61 to turn the Zone off. When the Zone is off, notes will not
play on the instrument assigned to the MIDI channel for this Zone. The Patch number will still be
sent on the MIDI channel for this Zone even though the notes are not sent, (remember the patch
selection can be disabled, see "Selecting A Patch Number" above)
