By default the Monomachine responds to 9 MIDI channels. The first six channels directly control each of the six internal monomachine tracks and are called the Individual Track Channels. The MULTI TRIG, MULTI MAP and AUTO TRACK channels follow having spe- cialised functions controlling the Monomachine.
BASE CHANNEL (base channel) is the default MIDI channel. Changing this can affect the other channel settings as well.
CHANNEL SPAN (channel span) determines the number of MIDI channels used for the individual track channels. The individual track channels are mainly useful if you are using the Monomachine as a sound module. If you use the Monomachine in pattern, song, multi trig or multi map mode, and you do not have the MIDI-channels to spare, you can disable the individual track channels by reducing CHANNEL SPAN to zero.
MULTI TRIG CH (multi trig channel) directly controls the multi trig monophonic super-synth functionality of the Monomachine. Please see section “MULTI TRIG”, on page 40 for more information. Output data on this channel can only be generated from the keyboard of the SFX-6 when MULTI TRIG Mode is selected.
MULTI MAP CH (multi map channel) controls the multi map functionality as described in section “MULTI TRIG”, on page 40. Output data on this channel can only be generated from the keyboard of the SFX-6 when MULTI MAP Mode is selected.
AUTO TRACK CH (auto track channel) is a control channel that follow the track selected as active on the Monomachine interface. It is very useful for the SFX-60MKII table-top module, as an external MIDI-keyboard assigned to this channel can be used for the func- tionality of the keyboard of the SFX-6
