10. MIDI Module
Another main area of the MULTISTATION is hidden behind the MIDI module; the MIDI-Matrix. It initially
represents a patch bay. On the simplest case it allows one to send (route) MIDI signals of the incoming data through
the MULTISTATION’s MIDI to any outputs. There are no limitations for this, so that several inputs may be
simultaneously routed to one single output, whereby the MULTISTATION would do the job of a MIDI merger.
Additionally, it is completely possible to route one MIDI input to several MIDI outputs simultaneously, whereby the
MULTISTATION would serve as a MIDI distributor. Routing is not limited to one complete in or output, but indivi-
dual MIDI channels may be edited and then separately and independently routed.
But much more can happen between inputs and outputs, since MIDI processors may be applied inbetween, allowing
changes to any MIDI input signal into any MIDI output signal. There are filters that filter out specific incoming data
and MIDI processors that are able to create any MIDI messages and send them to any output.
By combining these functions, a perfect and powerful Masterkeyboard/Controller emerges in front of you. It is
possible then, for example, to create keyboard splits. This would enable one to address different tone generators with a
simple one channel MIDI keyboard.
All configurations can be saved into patches, which are then recalled as part of a patch list, or externally via MIDI.
Through the so called layers, it is possible to use nine of these patches simultaneously and save then the combination
as a patch. In short: The possibilities are endless but this might be the only disadvantage of this module - it is quite
extensive for the beginner and under certain circumstances not easy to understand. But in all cases, it is helpful to have
a foundational knowledge of the MIDI standard or be willing to acquire it. We recommend technical books, which
bookstores provide in quantity and quality.
