MULTI MODE
Page 44 CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual
Pressing MULTI will give you this screen:
ASSIGNING PROGRAMS TO PARTS
To assign a program to a part, simply move the cursor to the program name field and use the
DATA wheel to scroll through the programs in memory. Once you’ve done that, move the
cursor to the next part and select the program for that and so on.The other parts show a “?”
indicating that no programs are assigned (the “?” would also show if a program was assigned to
a part but that program wasn’t currently in memory). All the MULTI screens show the parts in a
vertical list and on each screen, you can see the program name and the MIDI channel it is
assigned to.
SETTING A PART’S MIDI CHANNEL
Simply move the cursor to the column and set the MIDI channel as appropriate. For multi-
timbral sequencing, you would normally set each part to a different MIDI channel but for layering
and/or key splits, you can set two or more parts to the same MIDI channel so that they will play
together.
MIXING THE PARTS
Once you have several parts being played, you need to balance their levels and pan position.
To do this, simply move the cursor to the field to set the part’s level and to the field to
set its pan position. You will note that even if you change the program assigned to that part, the
level and pan values will stay the same.
SENDING PARTS TO THE INTERNAL EFFECTS
Each part may be sent to one of the internal effects if the optional EB-16 is fitted. Because the
EB16 offers no less than four channels of effects processing, you can have up to four
completely separate reverbs at once (two channels also offer multi-effects). More than one part
may be sent to the same effects channel.
To assign the part to an effects channel, move the cursor to the column and select the
effect (FX1, FX2, RV3, RV4) and set the effects send level using the parameter.
NOTE 1: The and the parameters only function when the optional EB16 multi-
effects processor is installed.
NOTE 2: In any of the MULTI mode’s pages, if the EB16 is installed, you may conveniently
mute them using F8 - . This will turn off all four effects channels so that you can hear the
program(s) in isolation.
These are the most commonly used MULTI parameters. Less commonly used ones are
accessed via the soft keys.
