PROGRAMMING THE DMI-64 MARK II
Editing Parameters
Edit Mode is a special programming mode which allows the parameters which
make up a preset to be changed. This mode is activated by pressing the two
right most Increment and Decrement buttons simultaneously. Upon pressing
the buttons you will note that the COM LED changes color (from green to red),
indicating that you are in Edit Mode. You will also note that the display will read
"0000".
The display will now function in a different manner. Instead of displaying the
preset number, the leftmost pair of digits represent the parameter number to be
edited. The rightmost digits represent the parameter's value. Using the leftmost
Increment and Decrement buttons will select different parameters to edit while
using the rightmost buttons will change the parameters value. MIDI Program
Changes are inhibited while in Edit Mode to protect the user from accidentally
editing the wrong preset.
Most of the parameters in the Edit Mode menu apply only to the preset selected
at the time Edit Mode is enabled. Some parameters are global and apply to all
the presets or general functions of the instrument. A full parameter explanation
will follow later in the manual.
The editable parameters fall into general categories: Waveform Select, Effects,
MIDI Controller Map, Pitch and Volume offsets, Audio Channel Assignment,
Channel Split, Waveform Generation, MIDI System Exclusive Dumps, and Mul-
titimbral Channel Selects.
There are 64 waveforms available for use in the DMI-64 II. The last 8 of these
waveforms (56 - 63) are programmable by the user. The method provided in
Edit Mode for creating waveforms is an additive one similar to using harmonic
drawbars on an organ. Any of the DMI-64 II waveforms, except the one being
edited, may be used as a base waveform of which harmonic copies of itself of
varying amplitudes are added together. It is possible to do these harmonic
manipulations remotely through the use of MIDI system exclusive data. Refer
to Appendix B.
The DMI-64 II may be used multitimbrally. Up to 16 MIDI channels may be used
simultaneously with the DMI-64 II. Assuming that each MIDI channel is using a
split preset, that translates to a possible 32 different presets with 32 different
volumes with 32 different pitch transpositions with various effects. To use the
multitimbral mode, set Omni Off, and enable additional MIDI channels by select-
ing presets for the MIDI Channels Preset #s (parameters 59 - 74).
Parameters 75 and 76 provide the user a method of introducing "flaws" into the
organ sound. Electrical key click noise level can be adjusted using parameter
75. A 60Hz hum can be added to a keyed note by adjusting parameter 76.
