Multi-instrument objects
Multi-instrument objects overview
A multi-instrument is like a collection of 16 standard instruments in one package.
You will generally use multi-instrument objects to address multi-timbral hardware synthesizers or
samplers. A multi-timbral sound module is one that can receive on several MIDI channels at once,
playing back a different sound on each channel simultaneously.
As most modern MIDI devices are multi-timbral, the multi-instrument will probably be the most
commonly used instrument object in your Environment.
The multi-instrument object parameters are a shorter set of the standard instrument object
parameters (see
on page 756). The settings you make in the multi-
instrument’s Track inspector apply globally to all subchannels.
