Reference Section

On the left side, you will find in the Ch# column the numbers of all MIDI tracks of the current MIDI file. To the right

you will find the

Name column, in the way it is displayed in the MIDI file. Please notice that a separation in tracks and

therefore the entry of track numbers and names is only possible with type 1 Standard-MIDI-Files.

The rest of the screen to the right of these two columns is filled with selection fields, through which you may route

individual MIDI tracks to specific destinations. These destinations can be found in the upper line of the main area,

from left to right the destinations

01 - 02 w it h M ULT I S TATI O N M 2 and respectevely 01 - 08 with

MULTISTATION M8. This indicates the corresponding existing MIDI outputs on the rear of the device, 2 outputs with

the M2 and eight outputs with the M8. This allows you to easily route certain tracks of a MIDI file through one of

these outputs to a certain tone generator. For example, if you want to use the MULTISTATION’s internal tone

generator and also an external drum machine on channel 10, you may connect this to a MIDI output. Do not route the

drum track to SyA (the internal tone generator of the MULTISTATION), but to the output to which the drum machine

is connected.

Through the entries SyA and SyB you have access to the two independent internal tone generators of the

MULTISTATION. When loading an empty MIDI song to an empty patch, all MIDI tracks are initially routed to SyA,

so that you may listen to the MIDI file immediately.

Besides the two internal tone generators, you may address through the Dgh destination a so-called daughterboard. This

is a hardware expansion in the form of an additional circuit board. Such an expansion board usually contains a

wavetable synthesizer with fixed or exchangeable sounds. This makes it possible to expand the internal sounds (which

are already exchangeable) with an additional selection of sounds. Furthermore, this increases the number of

simultaneous sounding individual tracks.

The track to the right has the title Trig, indicating the trigger track. This column is significant for the

creation of MULTIFiles.

The top line of the track list is tagged with --(ALL). If you perform an output routing here, all fields of the

corresponding column will be selected at once. Therefore put a check mark in the

--(ALL)/SyA field, if you want

to send all tracks of the MIDI file to synthesizer A.

On the lower corner of the screen you will find three buttons and one field with changing content. You have the

following options here:

1 Close Closes the window and leads you back tho the [MediaProp] screen.

2 ClearAll Erases all set check marks.

3 DeleteTrack This function erases the highlighted (black colored) MIDI track from the

MIDI file. Therefore, use it with care. As a precaution, the question: “Are you sure to

delete MIDI track (x)?” will appear. Select Yes , if you want to delete the track, select No,
