Multi-Mode Revisited, Part two
Since each performance brings with it its own set of zones, as well as midi-out assignments (setup in DETAILS and enabled in MIDI/TRANSMIT by setting the XMIT Mode to PART) and Vector Sequencing, the result from layering even two Performances and then assigning unique effects to that particular mixture can be incredible!
Keep in mind:
Each Multi-Mode Setup/Multiset has it's own mixing settings (volume controls on each channel), as well as muting on each channel. (If you set your sequencer to record what's on channel one, and it is capable of recording sysex messages, you will record your manual switching of the mutes on and off, your volume changes, and your changes of performance assignments to each of the channels).
To control all channels with one key, you could use your sequencer to port your keyboard input to omni (or near omni) mode out and back to into the WS (turn off LOCAL CONTROL on the MIDI/TRANSMIT page). Or you could use one of those fairly inexpensive MIDI channel-mapping boxes. Or, alternatively, you could use another keyboard controller set to omni mode output to control the Wavestation.
Just don't get too many notes going at the same time, and you can make some huge sounds with just one or two fingers this way. For me, the ability to layer whole *Performances* is really what the Multisets are all about! :-)
BIG SOUNDS!!!
