Monomachine Multi-Trig Split Mode: bug or feature?

2003-12-20 by Joe

Ok. I admit that I haven't really messed with multi-trig mode all that
much.  There's too many other things to explore!  But the few times
that I have, I've been inclined to use split mode.  However, I don't
quite understand the manual's explanation of how it's supposed to
work/what it's supposed to do.

From my understanding, splitting the keyboard just means that one zone
(say, below the split point) plays one sound and the other (above the
split point) plays another.  But on the MnM you only select one track
when setting it up (and you can only select from FIVE tracks (NOT
6!)).  This leads me to think that it's supposed to play the selected
track after the split point and something else (which the manual
doesn't state what that would be) before.

Ok. So when I select split point "A-4" and track 4, I get the
following results:
1) playing below A-4 plays all unmuted tracks (just like "ALL TRK" 
   mode)
2) playing A-4 and above plays track 5 (NOT track 4!)

Is it just me, or does this not seem right?  For one, I would think
the user would want to select which TWO tracks are to go above/below
the split point.  This is how my Nord works, for example.  And two,
why does choosing track 4 make track 5 the triggered track above the
split point?  And finally, why can we only choose up to 5 tracks
instead of six?

Am I greatly misunderstanding this feature, not using it correctly or
is there just a major bug?

Joe.
