TS-10 Musician’s Manual Section 12 — Sequencing/MIDI Applications

Some earlier guitar synths do not support MONO mode. You will have to consult the manual of

your particular model to see if it does. If you have a guitar synth which only sends in POLY

Mode (i.e. sends all six strings on the same MIDI Channel) you should use the TS-10 in POLY

Mode (or OMNI Mode) and set the guitar controller to send on the MIDI Channel that is selected

for the Base Channel on the MIDI Page.

For MIDI Guitar Controllers which do support MONO Mode, the TS-10 provides two types of

MONO mode reception. The first is MONO A Mode, which is a simple and straightforward way

of using MONO mode without getting involved with tracks or other complications:

• Connect the MIDI Out of the guitar controller (or its MIDI converter) to the MIDI In of the TS-

10.

• Set your guitar controller to send in MONO Mode on Channels 1-6. (Some models have an

easy shortcut for getting into this state.)

• On the MIDI Control page, set the Base MIDI Channel to BASE-CHAN=01.

• Also on the MIDI Control page, set the MODE parameter to MODE=MONO A. This sets up

the TS-10 to respond monophonically to 12 consecutive MIDI channels starting from the Base

Channel (consult Section 3 — MIDI Control Page Parameters for a more complete description of

MONO Mode).

You can now select sounds or presets on the TS-10, either from the front panel or from MIDI

program changes, and the guitar controller will play those sounds exactly as if they were played

from the keyboard.

If you are a little more adventurous, and would like the flexibility to put a different sound

program on every string of the guitar, you can use MONO B mode, in which each track of the

current sequence receives monophonically on its own MIDI channel, and can receive program

changes independently. Where MONO A is like POLY mode with monophonic reception,

MONO B is just like MULTI mode, except that each track is monophonic.

• Press MIDI Control. Set the MIDI In mode to MODE= MONO B. The 12 tracks of the current

sequence will now each receive monophonically on its own MIDI channel

• Create a new sequence. You might want to name it “MONO-B IN”, or something similar, to

indicate that it is specially set up for this type of reception.

• Press Seq/Song Tracks 1-6. All the tracks except the first are still UNDEFINED. Select each of

the six tracks, defining them and putting the current program on them. You can leave

Seq/Song Tracks 7-12 undefined.

• Press Track MIDI twice to go to the MIDI CHANNEL sub-page. Here you select the MIDI

channels for the different tracks:

The default values are as shown above. If you want to receive on a different set of MIDI

channels, select each track and edit it accordingly. Unlike MONO A, in this mode the

consecutive channel assignments are not automatic. You must set the tracks to six consecutive

channels.

Now you’re ready to play. A few things to bear in mind:
