MULTI MODE
CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual Page 55
And don’t forget...
If you have the multi-effects processor installed, layers and splits may be sent to different
effects in varying amounts to create even more variation. In the case of layering one program
on top of itself, you might find sending parts to same effects processor is sufficient but, in the
case of layering different sounds on top of each other (for example, bells and strings), the
strings could be sent to one effects processor and the bell to another. In the case of key splits
(let’s use the above as a good example) the bass could be routed to a small room, the piano to
a large hall and the brass to a chorus/delay/small hall multi-effects channel.
Alternatively...
Each of the elements in a layered or split multi could be assigned to separate outputs where
they may be mixed and processed on an external mixing console.
COMBINING THESE TECHNIQUES
The CD3000XL’s MULTI mode is so flexible that it can accommodate all of these techniques
simultaneously. For example, PARTs 1, 2 and 3 could have layered programs on one MIDI
channel whilst 4, 5 and 6 have parts on separate channels. PARTs 7 and 8 could be set to the
same MIDI channel but have key splits set whilst PARTs 9-11 could have parts on separate
channels. Some could be sent to the internal effects, other to individual outputs. For example:
