spackel Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hello, other question: would it be possible via program change from a midi sequencer to play different (registered) tones simultaneously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 MIDI input is 16 part multitimbral. In other words, MIDI input has the ability to generate up to 16 different tones simultaneously. This is why 16 MIDI channels are available. A different channel is used for each tone that needs to play simultaneously with others. The user manual has tone data charts which contains all of the program change data necessary to select a preset tone via MIDI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqz Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 is this 16 channel multitimbrality also the case when changing the midi input mode to the following (I've read this elsewhere on this forum): Quote Make sure you have the latest firmware installed on the CTS500 and in Settings change "midi in 1-5Ch Port" from "C" to "A". In other words, use the Active DSP for some channels, but still use the other channels (total sum = 16 channels) as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 The update allows MIDI input to access Port A, Parts 1 through 5, previously not accessible. Port A is keyboard performance parts, such as upper and lower tones. Port A is necessary to use DSP tones (and lyric tones on the 1000V). DSP tones can be selected as upper or lower tones. The MIDI Port setting only changes input routing of channels 1 through 5. Port C is still used for MIDI channels 6 through 16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
