STEREO MODE
In this example three musicians perform using a sophisticated MIDI based stereo system
without monitors, typical of many small venues. The sources and built in effects combine to
produce a full stereo sound. The output
AB mode is configured for L-R.
The guitars are shown routed through the musicians favourite stereo effects processors. These
plug into the mono channels but are panned left and right to maintain the stereo image.
The stereo channel dual input facility reduces the number of channels needed. Channel 7 is
used to mix a stereo keyboard with an additional voice module. Channel 8 mixes a MIDI
player with CD. The MIDI player is used during performance only, the CD player during
intermission only. The differences in the settings are programmed into song memories for
recall according to which source is in use.
The icon and the instruments are linked via MIDI to synchronise the settings with the song
being played. This example shows the MIDI file player as the ‘master’ controller. The song to
be played is selected on the MIDI player. This sends out MIDI messages to play the voices of
the connected instruments, select the preset sounds, and to automatically select the required
icon song memory. You could choose the icon to be the master controller if you prefer to
send out MIDI program change messages as you step through the
SET sequence.
A footswitch toggles between the current song memory and the alternative PAUSE patch. This
can, for example, be set up to reduce rather than completely mute the effects, and to mute the
instruments when the musicians talk to the audience between songs. The
FX2 foot pedal can be
used to vary the amount of reverb during performance.
If required, monitors could be added by plugging the FB and AUX jack outputs into an
external amplifier or powered speakers.
