4.5 Multi Mode Quick Start
4.5.1 Select a Multi preset
First a quick definition: A Multi is a combination of any two Sounds that can be triggered
at the same time from a single keyboard. They can be layered together or split, with one
on the left side of the keyboard and the other on the right.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though: Each Sound in the Multi (known as a ‘Part’)
has an independent setting for level, stereo panning, two FX sends, and transposition
(both chromatic and/or by octaves). You can also determine which Part will be affected
by MIDI messages such as pitch bend, mod wheel, aftertouch, sustain and expression.
The Multi itself allows you to select two different effects and edit them to suit your
needs. There is also a Master section with control over the levels of the FX returns and
the overall level of the Multi.
And just like in Sound mode, we’ve given you a large selection of ready-made Multis that
you can use as-is or as a basis for your own Multis. Take a spin through the Multi list!
We may have already created what you need for a given project.
There’s more to say, but for now let’s just get into Multi mode. To do this, click the
“Multi” tab in the tool bar:

From this window you are able to select the Multi presets and play them using the virtual
keyboard or an external MIDI source. As with Sound mode, the selected Multi will be
highlighted in blue:
