MIDI SETUP (con’t)
Allows you to set up multiple Moog synths as a polyphonic synth stack.
The settings are ‘POLY: OFF’ or ‘POLY: (#) of (##)’. The first number
represents which note this particular T3 is assigned to play, the second
number sets the total number of available voices. For example, if you
had an T3 and a Voyager RME, you would set the T3 to ‘POLY: 1 of 2’; on
the Voyager RME you would go to ‘MIDI Key Order’ on the Master menu
and set the RME to be note 2 of 2 (note that the Voyager must also have
the latest firmware installed). Connect the MIDI OUT from the T3 to
the MIDI IN on the Voyager. You should now be able to play duophoni-
cally, with the T3 sounding the first note played on the keyboard and the
Voyager RME sounding the second note. If all available voices are in use,
additional notes will not sound until enough keys are released to free a
voice. MIDI Continuous Control numbers (MIDI CC’s) are consistent
between the Voyager and Taurus 3, so any parameter changes such as
pitch bend and mod wheel, filter cutoff and so on, should affect all voices
simultaneously.
If you have two Taurus 3 synths, you would connect MIDI OUT from
the first one to MIDI IN on the second, then you would turn on MIDI
MERGE on the second T3 and connect its MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN
on the first T3. Turn off LOCAL CONTROL on the first T3 so that it is
controlled only by the MIDI data that is shared between the two synths.
If you have more than two Moog synths, connect them so that MIDI
passes through each synth and the last is connected to the first; but
make sure that the first synth does NOT pass MIDI through to the next,
or you will create a MIDI feedback loop. The “first synth” in this descrip-
tion should always be the one on which you are playing the keys. If the
first synth is an T3, make sure MIDI MERGE is turned OFF on this synth.
If the first synth is a Voyager, make sure that you are connecting MIDI
OUT from it to the MIDI IN on the second synth; do not use the MIDI
THRU jack on the first synth, only on subsequent synths (voice 2 or
higher).
The default setting is POLY: OFF.
NOTE: When the Arpeggiator is activated, it overrides any POLY
mode settings.
