MIDI AND THE A6 ANDROMEDA
With the previous description of MIDI basics in mind, let’s continue with a few more
details concerning the MIDI functions that are present in the A6. A
MIDI
Implementation Chart
is provided in Appendix C that lists the MIDI functions
supported by the A6.
A6 CHANNEL MESSAGES: MULTITIMBRAL SEQUENCING
As we mentioned on page 248, certain instruments are designed such that you can set
a voice or group of voices to MIDI Channels other than the Basic Channel the
instrument has been set to. This is an important concept to understand when setting
up the A6 as a master (transmitting MIDI to other instruments) or as a slave
(receiving MIDI from other instruments) in a MIDI music system.
While the Andromeda's Mix Mode and MIDI both have 16 channels, it is possible for
the A6 to assign any Mix Channel to any MIDI channel if desired. The
Andromeda can send and receive on up to 16 channels at once.
For complete information on multitimbral MIDI operation, see Chapter 11: Mix
Mode.
