MIDI Channel ( 1-16) Selects the MIDI channel to which the synth responds.
Each synth can respond to a different MIDI Channel, or
you can assign the same channel to multiple synths for
layers and splits.
Minimum Pitch (0-127) Sets the minimum pitch value to which the synth
responds. This value (along with the Maximum Pitch
value) are useful for setting up splits and layers when
multiple synths are set to the same MIDI Channel .
Maximum PItch (0-127) Sets the maximum pitch value to which the synth
responds. This value (along with the Minimum Pitch
value) are useful for setting up splits and layers when
multiple synths are set to the same MIDI Channel .
Type Sets the type of device ( monophonic , polyphonic , or
drum ) that you wish to control with the synth.
NOTE: Synth 1 and Synth 2 (as provided by a
standalone MIDI 1U module) are monophonic only, and
cannot be set otherwise.
Monophonic Select this option to control a single oscillator or
monosynth voice. This is the usual operation of most
monophonic Eurorack devices.
Polyphonic Select this option to control a polyphonic oscillator or
synth voice. This option requires a CVx expander, and
is available only for Synths 3-10.
Poly mode supports a maximum of 8 voices, with the
actual number of voices determined by the
Output Type assignments in the
Expander column(s) .
Specifically, the number of voices = max number of
outputs assigned to a given type. So if you have 4 pitch
outputs and 4 gate outputs assigned to the Poly
Synth’s MIDI Channel , then you will have 4-voice
polyphony.
Drum Select this option to control a drum or percussion voice
or sampler module, where different MIDI note numbers
trigger different drum sounds. This option requires a
CVx expander, and is available only for Synths 3-10.
Drum mode supports up to 8 voices per MIDI Channel .
Use the Expander column(s) to assign voices to MIDI
Note numbers and determine whether the output is a
gate, trigger or velocity value. If multiple outputs are
assigned to the same MIDI Note , those outputs use
only a single voice.
