The TimewARP 2600 will allow Y-connections, distributing a single output signal to
multiple destinations by holding the control key down while clicking an output that
already has a cable connected to it. A second cable will appear attached to the cursor,
which can then be plugged into another input.

If you pause for a moment over a slider, a display will pop up with the numerical value
and name of the parameter it controls.
If you have MIDI controller hardware, you can easily connect it to the sliders, knobs or
switches; see section 2.2.2.
2.1.7
Using the Virtual Keyboard Display
The graphic TimewARP 2600 keyboard display responds directly to mouse events; click
on any key to create a MIDI keydown signal. This is useful when you are creating and
tuning a new patch, if you don’t have a hardware MIDI keyboard handy.
The virtual keyboard also displays – as key depressions - incoming MIDI note-events. Use
this to monitor your external MIDI keyboard connection and activity.
2.1.8
Polyphonic Operation
The TimewARP 2600 can respond to as many as eight simultaneous keydown events. Use
the
Voices
dropdown (see section 4.1.1.2) to set the number of voices.
2.1.9
Saving and Loading Patches
You may save patches using the
Save
or
Save As
buttons or load patches with the
Patch
Manager
(see section 4.1 below). There is no limit to the number of patches you can
create and save.To enable the
Save
button, the
Lock
button (padlock icon) must be in the
unlocked mode.
You may wish to create a bank of “template” patches, generic versions of often-used
con gurations.
The TimewARP 2600 responds to MIDI bank-select and patch-select commands.
2.2
MIDI Communication and Control
2.2.1
Slider, Knob and Switch Control
You may control any slider, knob or switch on the TimewARP 2600 plug-in with any MIDI
controller. If you have a hardware control surface, or if your MIDI keyboard has slider or
knob control devices, you can use them to control any combination of sliders, knobs or
switches in a patch.
Any connections you set up are global to the TimewARP 2600 – you can store them
independently of any speci c patch (see section 4.1.2.1 below).
To connect a slider, knob, or switch to an external MIDI controller, hold down the
