Vermona qMI - quad MIDI Interface - Manual (Page 15)

PLAYMODE
The PLAYMODE switch determines in what way incoming MIDI-notes are
distributed to the CV/Gate channels. Playmode is a global setting for the
qMI - quad MIDI interface. Naturally, you won't be able to play a three-
note-chord by assigning just two CV/Gate channels to a MIDI-channel.
Playmode can be switched while playing a sequence. This will sometime
result in interesting effects.
Monophonic playmode 1 (M1)
With this PLAYMODE enabled, all combined CV/Gate channels set to the
same MIDI-channel are played in parallel. Key-CV and gate outs transfer the
same pitches and note lengths. In addition, M1 is the standard mode for
individual, uncombined channels. This mode won't allow for rotating or
polyphonic voice assignments.
With channels 1, 2 and 3 being combined on MIDI-channel 1 and channel 4
reacting to MIDI-channel 2, channel 4 will still be played independently in
M1-mode, disregarding the selected PLAYMODE which may have been set to
M2 or POLY.
NOTE To distribute identical key-CV- and gate-signals to
multiple oscillators and envelopes, you may also use
multiples. Here, only a single CV/Gate-channel is nee-
ded. Mode M1 is best suited for independent
sequences. It allows playing up to four independent
melodies, arpeggios or sequences simultaneously.
Equally, it is possible to trigger four individual drum
modules using the gate outputs, e.g. from MFB or Ana-
logue Solutions.
