OPERATION OF THE POLY CHAIN
4. The rst DeepMind unit will play as normal.
5. The other DeepMind units will come into play whenever the voices exceed
multiples of 6.
6. Use each DeepMind unit's volume control to adjust the levels, and/or adjust
your external mixer as desired.
7. With the PROGRAM-LINK ON, then the rst unit will control the program
playing in the next units in line. Each time you change program on the rst
DeepMind unit, the others in line will change to the same program name,
but with a * next to it.
Note: The program in the other units is just temporary, and the bank and
program number do not change.
8. The POLYPHONY setting of each program will aect how the voices play
within each DeepMind unit. You can experiment with the POLYPHONY
setting in the VOICE PARAMETERS page of the POLY EDIT menu, to become
familiar with your POLY CHAIN setup.
Operation example:
• In the rst DeepMind 6 unit, set POLYPHONY to UNISON-3 and press a key.
You will see 3 Voice LEDs light up per key. So if you press 2 keys, then 6 voices
are in play, and 6 voice LEDS are lit. Now press 1 more key, and you should
see 3 Voice LEDs light up in the 2nd DeepMind unit. This shows that the POLY
CHORD is working.
To check the PROG-LINK is working:
• Change the program in the rst DeepMind unit, and check that the other
units change to the same program name (with a *).
• If you press any EDIT switch on the other units, you should see their values
change as the program is changed on the rst unit.
If PROG-LINK is ON, the rst DeepMind unit sends a SysEx dump of its EDIT buer
to the other units in line. Depending on the MIDI CTRL setting, these other units
will respond as follows:
• In the MIDI SETTINGS page of the CONNECTIVITY menu:
• If MIDI CTRL is set to NRPN for all units, and PROGRAM-LINK is ON, then
any changes that you make to the rst DeepMind unit will aect the
others in line. (This is the recommended setting.)
• If MIDI CTRL is set to CC for all units, and PROGRAM-LINK is ON, then only
fader changes that you make to the rst DeepMind unit will aect the
others in line.

• If MIDI CTRL is set to OFF for all units, and PROGRAM-LINK is ON, then no
changes that you make to the rst DeepMind unit will aect the others
in line.
The program playing in each unit down the line can be adjusted if desired, or
changed to a dierent program, without aecting the program playing in the
previous unit in line. However, the changes will aect the next unit in line, unless
you turn PROGRAM-LINK o on the unit you are adjusting.
