78 DeepMind 6 User Manual OPERATION OF THE POLY CHAIN 4. The first DeepMind unit will play as normal. 5. The other DeepMind units will come into play whenever the voices exceed multiples of 6. 6. Use each DeepMind unit's volume control to adjust the levels, and/or adjust your external mixer as desired. 7. With the PROGRAM-LINK ON, then the first unit will control the program playing in the next units in line. Each time you change program on the first DeepMind unit, the others in line will change to the same program name, but with a * next to it. Note: The program in the other units is just temporary, and the bank and program number do not change. 8. The POLYPHONY setting of each program will affect how the voices play within each DeepMind unit. You can experiment with the POLYPHONY setting in the VOICE PARAMETERS page of the POLY EDIT menu, to become familiar with your POLY CHAIN setup. Operation example: • In the first DeepMind 6 unit, set POLYPHONY to UNISON-3 and press a key. You will see 3 Voice LEDs light up per key. So if you press 2 keys, then 6 voices are in play, and 6 voice LEDS are lit. Now press 1 more key, and you should see 3 Voice LEDs light up in the 2nd DeepMind unit. This shows that the POLY CHORD is working. • If MIDI CTRL is set to OFF for all units, and PROGRAM-LINK is ON, then no changes that you make to the first DeepMind unit will affect the others in line. The program playing in each unit down the line can be adjusted if desired, or changed to a different program, without affecting the program playing in the previous unit in line. However, the changes will affect the next unit in line, unless you turn PROGRAM-LINK off on the unit you are adjusting. 1 key pressed (Unison-3) DeepMind 1 3 voices 3 voices total DeepMind 2 0 voices 3 keys pressed (Unison-3) DeepMind 1 6 voices 9 voices total DeepMind 2 3 voices To check the PROG-LINK is working: • Change the program in the first DeepMind unit, and check that the other units change to the same program name (with a *). • If you press any EDIT switch on the other units, you should see their values change as the program is changed on the first unit. If PROG-LINK is ON, the first DeepMind unit sends a SysEx dump of its EDIT buffer to the other units in line. Depending on the MIDI CTRL setting, these other units will respond as follows: • In the MIDI SETTINGS page of the CONNECTIVITY menu: • If MIDI CTRL is set to NRPN for all units, and PROGRAM-LINK is ON, then any changes that you make to the first DeepMind unit will affect the others in line. (This is the recommended setting.) • If MIDI CTRL is set to CC for all units, and PROGRAM-LINK is ON, then only fader changes that you make to the first DeepMind unit will affect the others in line.
