MULTI MAP EDIT
Opens an editor for mapping the functions of single notes or note ranges on an external MIDI keyboard. The
functions that can be mapped include: Internal trigging of Sounds on any track, trigging of MIDI notes on any
MIDI channel and the ability to trig patterns with custom transpose and timing settings. Multi map allows custom
mapped keyboards splits, pattern trigging per key, Sound trig per key, MIDI trig of external synths, and more. In
the Multi map mode, for example, full analog drum kits, bass lines, and lead sounds can be played simultane-
ously. Ideal for performances and live improvisations.
Additionally, the internal multi map trigs can be recorded with the Analog Four sequencer. At most, one unique
function may be mapped for each of the 128 keys of the entire MIDI keyboard range. One multi map setting is
stored for each global slot, which means 4 different keyboard maps per project can be used..
ENTRIES are the basic building blocks of the multi map. They define what fuction will be
assigned to each key or key range. Up to 128 entries may be created per multi map. If no
entries exist, select ENTRIES, and then CREATE NEW ENTRY. If you wish to erase all
entries to start anew, select ENTRIES and choose CLEAR ALL ENTRIES. If you wish to use
the default multi map, a keyboard split, choose CREATE SPLIT. Select the entry to edit in the
left part of the display by using the [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys and press [YES/SAVE]. The cur-
sor will move to the right part of the display where the list of mapping alternatives is visible.
To edit a multi map entry, navigate by using the [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys. Change the high-
lighted item in the list by pressing the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] arrow keys.
Note that the map entries may be instantly tried by playing the specified range on your exter-
nal MIDI keyboard or on the Analog Four [KEYBOARD] keys.
• To use your custom multi map, remember to set the external MIDI keyboard to the assigned PERF
CHANNEL (or change the performance channel in the MIDI CHANNEL menu to that of the MIDI
keyboard)
FUNCTION selects one of the four main types of functionality for the MIDI mapping.
• INT.TRIG sets the chosen MIDI keyboard key or range to control specific Sounds
from the Sound pool or the +Drive Sound library.
RANGE LOW sets the note on the keyboard on which to start the desired key-
board range.
RANGE HIGH sets the note on the keyboard on which to end the desired key-
board range. If a single key is to be mapped, set to the same note as RANGE
LOW.
