■ Part structure of the tone generator block in the Multi mode/Sequence Play mode
This mode lets you use multiple Parts and assign different Voices to be played back for each Part. Since different MIDI channels
can be set for each Part of the tone generator block, you can use an external MIDI sequencer to play the sounds. As illustrated
below, the sequence data of each track plays the corresponding Parts (those having the same MIDI channel assignment) in the
tone generator block.
Up to 48 Parts are provided for the Multi mode. However, the number of Parts that are actually used is a maximum of 34, as we will
see later in the example.
This example applies when installing one Multi part Plug-in Board and two Single-part Plug-in Boards, and assigning the Multi-part Plug-in
Board to “Port 3” and the Single-part Plug-in Boards to “Port 2.”
When using the internal tone generator of the S90 ES, set the MIDI port of each track on the sequencer to “1.” Keep in mind that data
received over Ports 2 or 3 cannot sound the internal tone generator block. The tone generator of the installed Plug-in Board can be sounded
via any of the MIDI ports 1 - 3.
To set the MIDI receive channel for multi-timbre operation (Multi mode), use the following operation in the Multi mode.
To set the port number assignment for the Plug-in Board, use the following operation.
n The Plug-in Board lets you use only a single Voice at the same time. Please note that you cannot assign multiple Voices of the Plug-in Board to multiple Parts at the
same time.
n The Multi-part Plug-in Board can only be installed to slot 3 (PLG3).
n The Voice and related settings (volume, pan, etc.) are sounded according to the Part parameters of the current Part. Other settings such as Controllers and Effect
types correspond to the Common parameters of the current Multi.
