Navigate between the parameters using the [UP] and [DOWN] keys. Change the parame-
ter values using [LEFT] and [RIGHT].
By default the Monomachine responds to 9 MIDI channels. The first six channels directly
control each of the six internal monomachine tracks and are called the Individual Track
Channels. The MULTI TRIG, MULTI MAP and AUTO TRACK channels follow having spe-
cialised functions controlling the Monomachine.
BASE CHANNEL (base channel) is the default MIDI channel. Changing this can affect the
other channel settings as well.
CHANNEL SPAN (channel span) determines the number of MIDI channels used for the
individual track channels. The individual track channels are mainly useful if you are using
the Monomachine as a sound module. If you use the Monomachine in pattern, song, multi
trig or multi map mode, and you do not have the MIDI-channels to spare, you can disable
the individual track channels by reducing CHANNEL SPAN to zero.
MULTI TRIG CH (multi trig channel) directly controls the multi trig monophonic super-synth
functionality of the Monomachine. Please see section “MULTI TRIG”, on page 41 for more
information. Output data on this channel can only be generated from the keyboard of the
SFX-6 when MULTI TRIG Mode is selected.
MULTI MAP CH (multi map channel) controls the multi map functionality as described in
section “MULTI TRIG”, on page 41. Output data on this channel can only be generated
from the keyboard of the SFX-6 when MULTI MAP Mode is selected.
AUTO TRACK CH (auto track channel) is a control channel that follow the track selected
as active on the Monomachine interface. It is very useful for the tabletop versions of the
Monomachine as an external MIDI-keyboard assigned to this channel can function as the
keyboard of the SFX-6. It saves the work of switching the channel on the external keyboard
when changing track focus of the tabletop versions of the Monomachine. No output data is
generated for the auto track channel.
MORE ON THE MONOMACHINE MIDI FUNCTIONALITY
Some MIDI commands are accepted on all active channels:
• NRPN data is accepted to control the individual internal tracks
• PROGRAM CHANGE can be used for changing pattern
The NRPN interface doubles with the normal CTRL CHANGE interface of the Individual
Track Channels, and provide the same functionality. It is only accepted, never transmitted.
See Appendix B for full MIDI specifications of the NRPN interface.
