ZETA Music Systems, Inc.
ZMC-200 Manual Rev2.0
SEP
In SEPARATE mode, every string on your instrument is assigned a
separate channel all its own (see Global Parameters). This is the setting that
allows you the most flexibility. Pitchbend information such as slides, etc.
only effect the string on which they are actually played. All this
information is string specific and will maintain the desired effect. Most
modern MIDI instruments are equipped “multi-mode” allowing reception
of MIDI information on more than one channel. You should use the SEP
setting whenever it’s at all possible.
HOLDMD
Hold Mode (COMMON, SEP…, LAYER…, ARPEG…, CNTRL…,
TACK). While playing, you have access to several different “hold”
functions using the hold pedals. Your ZETA SYNTHONY II supports 5
different hold functions:
COMMON
When you press the hold pedal, no MIDI data can be received until you
release the pedal. This is a sort of bypass function allowing you to play a
chord, press and hold the pedal so that the played chord will be sustained
on your MIDI instrument until you release it, no matter what you may play
on your instrument while the pedal is being held.
SEP
Using this setting, you can make use of the various HOLD CHANNELS
(see Global Parameters) that you defined. You can, for example, play and
hold a pad sound, and then play a solo over it, allowing you to in effect
accompany yourself. Using the sub menu (ENTER), set an appropriate pad
sound for the accompaniment. Press the hold pedal and play the chord you
want your pad sound to play and then immediately release the pedal. The
chord you played will continue to sound until you press the pedal again,
which causes the chord to stop, at which time you can play a new one,
which will then continue to sound when you release the pedal again. To get
back to normal play mode, simply press and release the hold pedal without
playing anything. In the sub menu, you can set the following parameters:
HOLD PRESET
(1…128)
Using the +/- Value buttons, choose the sound you want to hear after
pressing the hold pedal.
