Q:
Can I use a COMBI in a multi-timberal setup?
 
A:
Here’s how you can copy the sounds of a combination to
multiple tracks, and record your performance.
Make sure that the global MIDI channel (Global P1:
MIDI, “MIDI Channel”) is set to 01.
1 Create a new song.
2 Execute the page menu command “Copy From
Combi.”
A dialog box will appear.
Select the combination that you want to copy (i.e., the
copy source).
Press the COMBI BANK [INT-B] key, then press
numeric keys [8], [5], and finally press the [ENTER]
key. I-B085: Steely Keys will be selected.
We will copy the effect settings of the combination as
well, so check the “With Effects” check box.
Since we want to copy the settings of the combination’s
eight timbres to tracks 1–8, select Track 1 to 8.
If you have selected Track 1 to 8, you will be able to
select “Auto adjust Arp setting for Multi REC.” If you
check this check box, the MIDI channel etc. of some of
the tracks will automatically be adjusted to ensure that
the same sound as was used during recording will be
reproduced by the playback when you perform multi-track
recording with the arpeggiator turned on.
Depending on the combination settings, it may be
necessary to make additional changes to the track set-tings.
In order to use the “Auto adjust Arp setting for Multi
REC” function, the combination to be copied must
have been written with the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/
OFF] key turned on.
Press the OK button to execute the copy.
Notice that when you execute this command, the
“PLAY/REC/MUTE” setting of each track will be set
automatically.
In the Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Preference page, the
“Multi REC” check box will be checked.
If you are using the arpeggiator, press the ARPEGGIA-TOR
[ON/OFF] key to turn it off, and then turn it on
again.
3 Begin recording.
Press the [LOCATE] key to set the location to
001:01.000.
Press the SEQUENCER [REC/WRITE] key, and then
press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key.
If you play a B3 note or lower during the pre-count
before recording, the arpeggio pattern will start from
the beginning at the moment that recording begins.
Record your performance.
4 When you are finished performing, press the
SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key.
If you made a mistake or want to re-record, you can
use the Compare function (press the [COMPARE] key)
to re-record as many times as you want. (The “Multi-REC”
check box will be unchecked when you use
Compare, so you will need to check it again.)
