Section 10 — Understanding the Sequencer TS-10 Musician’s Manual

This set up is ideal for controlling everything right from the TS-10. Simply by selecting the track

which is set to the same MIDI channel as to a particular instrument, you can:

1) Play the remote MIDI device from the TS-10 keyboard

2) Record a track that will play back on the MIDI device when you play the sequence or song

3) Send the remote MIDI device Program Changes and adjust its volume (assuming the device

receives MIDI Volume)

In other words, once you have made the appropriate connections, and set up the MIDI

configuration of the tracks and all remote MIDI devices, you can use the TS-10’s keyboard and its

front panel to control and record all the remote MIDI devices in your rig.

MIDI Mode and Channel — Remote MIDI Device

The next step is to set up each remote MIDI device to receive only the MIDI information that is

intended for it. When each of the receiving units is set to receive on a different MIDI channel (or

a number of them, for multi-timbral units) you can control them all right from the TS-10.

For each remote MIDI device:

• Set to POLY (OMNI OFF) or MULTI Mode. Each remote MIDI device must be in a mode

where it receives only on its selected MIDI channel (or channels). This is usually referred to as

POLY (or OMNI OFF) Mode for receiving on a single channel, or MULTI mode for receiving

independently on multiple channels. Consult the owner’s manual if there is any question

about a particular instrument.

• Select a MIDI channel or channels. The best idea is to assign each destination Instrument its

own MIDI channel(s) and leave it that way. If you know, for instance, that a certain synth is

always set to receive on MIDI channel 4, you can quickly set up a track to drive that synth by

simply selecting an undefined track, then assigning that track MIDI Status and MIDI channel 4

on the Track MIDI page. Also when each destination instrument is always set to its own

distinct MIDI channel, it means that different sequences and songs recorded at different times

will always play the right instrument on the right track.

Once you have assigned MIDI channels to each instrument in your rig, write them down, and

keep the paper handy for quick reference.

MIDI Track Configuration

After you have made the MIDI connections, and set up your remote MIDI devices as described

above, you now configure the tracks of a sequence to send to those remote MIDI devices. Let’s

suppose that you are sequencing several remote MIDI devices, as depicted in the illustration on

the previous page.

For each track which you want to drive a remote MIDI device:

• Select a track. Go to the Seq/Song Tracks 1-6 or 7-12 page and press the soft button

corresponding to a track location to select a track.

• Assign the track MIDI Status. Press the Track MIDI button once to display the STATUS sub-

page. The selected track is underlined. Use the data entry controls to set the track to LOCAL-

OFF status. You will notice that when you play the keyboard now, it doesn’t sound on the TS-

10.

• Assign the track a MIDI Channel. Press the Track MIDI button again — the CHANNEL sub-

page appears. Set the track to the MIDI channel of the remote MIDI device you want to

sequence from that track. Playing the TS-10 keyboard should now play the Receiving

Instrument.

• Set the Program Number. Press the Track MIDI button a third time — the PROGRAM sub-

page appears. Now you can use the data entry controls to change the program that the
