1.2 AUDIO
The audio part of the MULTISTATION works with a 24 bit digital audio technology based on a 32 bit multi DSP
processor.
Audio Player The integrated Audio File Player serves to playback up to 8 digital audio tracks in different formats
(WAV, AIFF, MP3). It can also be used to play songs with multiple tracks which are composed of audio files only, as
well as a combination of MIDI files with audio tracks (so-called MULTI files). This gives you the ability to include
up to 8 digital audio tracks in one MIDI file, allowing synchronized playback with your MIDI instrument for example
real choir voices, acoustic instruments or special effects. Audio files can be recalled as an effect palette (Jingles) with
the remote controller or by assigning them to individual keys of your keyboard.
MP3 The MULTISTATION has a built-in MP3-Decoder, which makes it possible to playback up to 8 MP3 files
simultaneously (by compressing audio recordings into MP3 format you can decrease significantly the required sto-
rage space on your hard disk).
Audiorecorder The audio recorder processes a mono or stereo track of any source as a wave (WAV) file. Because of
the possibility to record the signal assigned to the output of the Multistation you can mixdown audiotracks to new
tracks as well.
SoundFont Synthesis The internal tone generator of the MULTISTATION is based on Wavetable-Audio synthesis
with 64 voice polyphony. It works with the SoundFont format so that different sound banks can be stored on the hard
disk and loaded when needed. On the basis of its 40 MB sized sample RAM, it is able to use high-quality samples for
professional demands. With use of optional converter software, the MULTISTATION can upload and play samples in
the format of Akai, Roland and EMU. The two virtual MIDI inputs of the tone generator allow the play of up to 32
different instrument sounds simultaneously (2x16 MIDI channels).
Audio Mixer The audio mixer of the MULTISTATION can mix all audio tracks, the internal Wavetable tone
generator, the CD player and the line inputs. The integrated effect processor offers the following effects: Echo, Hall,
and Chorus. Additional effects will be available as optional software modules.
