ZMC-200 Manual Rev2.0
important here that basic channels and hold channels do not coincide. In
other words, make sure that the basic channel and the hold channel values
are at least five digits apart. Typically this parameter is set to ”7”, reserving
channels 7-12 for the hold functions.
SEQ CHANNEL
MIDI channel for internal soundboard drum sequences (1…16)
The output from the drum sequencer that is built into the internal
soundboard will have its own separate MIDI channel. It is important here
that the SEQ CHANNEL not coincide with any of the BASIC CHANNEL
or HOLD CHANNEL reserved MIDI channels. Make sure you choose a
free channel and reserve it for drum sequences using this parameter.
Typically this value is set for ”16.” This parameter is only available to
those who have the internal sound board installed.
PBEND RANGE
Pitchbend limit values (OFF, 1….24). Techniques often used by string
players are vibrato, glissando, slurs & slides. In order to effectively
interpret these techniques that are fairly unique to string players, your
ZETA SYNTHONY II uses the MIDI controller Pitchbend. In much the
same way that a keyboard player hits a key and then uses his pitchwheel to
modify the pitch, your ZETA SYNTHONY II can generate pitchbend
information for bowed notes. In order for the built-in sound module or the
external MIDI instrument to correctly play this pitchbend information the
limit values for pitchbending need to be set. The value you choose relates
to the number of halfsteps that the pitch will be allowed to be bent. Make
sure that your MIDI instrument can interpret the values you program for
this parameter. If possible, set this value to 24 (two octaves). The value
OFF sends no pitchbend information, so that when you bend strings or
slide, the resulting pitch wil change in halfstep increments.
SND PBENDRG
Send Pitchbend Range (ON/OFF)
If your MIDI instrument allows pitchbend parameter settings for every
Preset (sound), set this parameter to ON. In this case your ZETA
SYNTHONY II
sends the pitchbend range event directly after every program change event.
If your MIDI instrument saves pitchbend information in its global area, set
this value to OFF.
