MIDI CHANNEL
The VS can transmit three channels simultaneously if necessary. These
channels are:
RIGHT CHANNEL
This is the VS equivalent of the base channel. If the keyboard is not split,
all notes are sent on the right channel, regardless of the mode. When the
keyboard is split, only notes to the right of the split are sent on this channel.
The right channel number is adjusted through the Channel L/R control (see
below).
LEFT CHANNEL
When the keyboard is split, only notes to the left of the split point are sent
on this channel. When the left channel diers from the right channel, and the
keyboard is doubled, all notes are sent on this channel as well as on the right
channel. If the left and right channels are the same, data is sent only once. The
left channel number is adjusted through the Channel L/R control.
ARP. CHANNEL
Reserved for the arpeggiator. When the arpeggiator runs, arpeggiated notes
are transmitted on this channel only. As soon as the arpeggiator is latched,
and LAYER is o, any notes played on the keyboard are transmitted on the
right or left channels.
MIDI MODE
The VS receive mode determines how recognized data is processed. MIDI
messages are always sent on the right (base) channel, unless in split or double
keyboard mode, or if the arpeggiator is running.
MODE 1
All recognized data is interpreted as if it came from the VS itself. Notes are
delegated to available voices, and are treated the same as notes played on the
VS keyboard.
MODE 3
In Single mode, the VS accepts data on the right channel only.
In Split or Double mode, the VS can be considered as two separate
synthesizers. If the left and right channels are dierent, then notes, wheels,
and program selections received on the left or right channel, aect the left or
right programs independently. In either case, the left and right programs can
both play notes over the entire ve- octave range.
