Using Poly Chain
If you have two Trigon-6 synthesizers of any type (modules or keyboards)
you can link them together with MIDI to increase the total available
polyphony to 12 voices. We call this poly chaining. If you have a Trigon-6
keyboard and a Trigon-6 module, you will most likely use the keyboard as
the master and the module as the slave.
To poly chain two Trigon-6 synths:
1. With a MIDI cable, connect the rear-panel midi out of the rst Trigon-6
(the master) to the midi in of the second Trigon-6 (the slave).
2. On the master Trigon-6, press the globals button then press program selec-
tor button 9 (midi out).
3. Use the bank/decrement and tens/increment to select ply (poly).
4. Press the globals button twice to exit globals mode.
The two synths are now poly chained. You can now play up to twelve
notes simultaneously. Another advantage of this arrangement is that
notes with long release times are less likely to be cut off as you play
additional notes.
