Basics Section 9 Use the [L] and [M] buttons to call up the NtLmt (Note Limit) and VelLmt (Velocity Limit) settings, and check whether or not the Part of the piano Voice is set appropriately - in other words, make sure that the Note or Velocity settings do not prevent the Voice from being played normally. Except in special cases, you should generally avoid setting limits on the note and velocity ranges, in order to ensure that notes are sounded properly and are not cut off. NtLmt-L C-2 PAGE PART ELEM KEY 4 P 2 OCTAVE By following steps 3 to 9 above, when you play back a song file in the sequencer, the piano track is transmitted through MIDI channel 2. The MIDI data is received by the S03 which then plays the Voice for the Part assigned to MIDI channel 2. ) Repeat steps 3 to 9 above, but set up Part 3 for bass and to receive on MIDI channel 3. ! Repeat steps 3 to 9 again, setting up Part 10 for drums and to receive on MIDI channel 10. n To avoid situations where the Voices of unused Parts are suddenly played back, you should set the MIDI receive channels for unused Parts to "off." n There are many other Part-specific parameters in the Multi Edit mode. For details, see page 55. @ Before exiting Multi Edit Mode, you need to store the settings for the Multi. For details about storing Multis, see page 69. Now, when you select this Multi in the Multi Play mode, you can play back the song file on computer (sequencer), and the piano, bass and drum Parts will be played back according to each track's MIDI channel. Performing Live While Playing Back a Song File While playing back the song file with the piano, bass and drum Parts assigned earlier, you can set up the Multi so that you can also play another Part live. Song File Track 1 Piano Transmit Ch.2 Track 2 Bass Transmit Ch.3 Track 3 Drums Transmit Ch.10 Multi Playback using keyboard Part 1 Solo-type Voice Receive Ch.1 Part 2 Piano Voice Receive Ch.2 Part 3 Bass Voice Receive Ch.3 Part 10 Drums Voice Receive Ch.10 This is the same as the Multi created earlier (page 38), but with the addition of another Part for live playback. Be careful to make the following important settings. • In the Multi created earlier, Parts 2, 3 and 10 were being used. As an example, we will now assign another Part (Part 1) to a solo-type Voice and set the MIDI Receive Channel to 1. • At the Trans Ch (PAGE 4) screen in MIDI Mode, set the MIDI Receive Channel to 1. The Voice for Part 1 can now be played live using the keyboard. n Because the S03 features a fully-compatible XG tone generator, you can play any of the wide variety of commercially available XG/GM song software. This ensures broad dynamic and expressive range, with a wide variety of rich instrument sounds and effects. You can also mute specific parts of the MIDI data - allowing you to practice the missing parts yourself, or to use the song data as instrumental backing for your own singing and playing. 40
