Re: [elektron] Hello I have a question!

Hello!

Both Yes and No... mostly No :).
There is a special Sysex protocoll for the SS so you can control the Sid
chip for "3 parts" tunes as in ASID mode but you can't control it from 3
different MIDI channels. This means that its mostly impossible to play 
three melodies simultaneous on it in a sequencer like Cubase.

I will probably be writing many more letters in the future as I learn the intricacies of the SS (cute acronym, huh?).

For some reason this strikes me as being theoritcally possible (given the extremely minor amount of data I have), but as always I could have overlooked something quite basic.  Can anyone elaborate on this?
