Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] how many splits/layers at one time?

2007-03-01 by tim sullivan

been awhile since i had to do this idea but
i think what your loking for resides in the sequencer portion, not the "perf mode"
i could be wrong

if im right......
you need to have the vfx-sd (sequencer version)
and you make a  blank "sequence"  , even though you dont need to record any events
each track 1 thru 12 make up the "splits" (12 total not 24) i believe
each track can be set to be on a certain midi ch or "local mode"
each track should be able to have its own keyboard range , transposition , etc, 

the 24 total might come from making a "song" from other "sequences" and gaining an additional 12 "live" tracks

again , its been awhile , but i used to do a lot of this on vfx-sd
