Re: [xpantastic] Xpander Midi Recieve Channel

2013-03-11 by Karl Schmeer

Well, on the far right of the center display. However 
I must apologize as I am looking at my Matrix 12 
which allows 6 zones instead of three, and does not
have external CV inputs.

Looking at the xpander midi spec though, it says you have the 
option of Omni in each of the 3 zones so it should be in there.


From Xpander Midi Spec: 

These Zones, an Oberheim innovation, are polyphonic note assignment modules. For 
each Zone, its control 

source (one of the sixteen MIDI channels or OMNI) , the range of notes over 
which it is active (MIDI notes 

1 through 127), and the method by which it should assign notes to voices 
(including Rotate, Reassign, 

Reset, and three unison modes) may be specified.


Perhaps PeWe  or another Xpander owner can help.

Karl

re: far right do you mean on the zone encoder ? 
Im not seeing Omni ? as a selection (just Zone 1-3, CV1-6, CH 1-16)

Can someone please check on this when there in front of there machine. Thanks
