Dave Smith Instruments POLY EVOLVER KEYBOARD - Manual (Page 48)

MIDI Implementation
The Poly Evolver receives MIDI data according to the mode controls in the Global
Section. When in Combo mode, the Global parameters may be overridden by the
Combo settings. In addition, there is interaction between some of the Program
parameters that determine the overall response of Evolver to MIDI data. Following are
the parameters that affect response to MIDI.
Global Parameters
MIDI Channel: ALL, 1…16 – Selects the MIDI channel to send and receive data, 1 to
16. All receives on any channel.
Poly Chain: ALL, 5…20– Use this to link multiple Evolvers and Poly Evolvers into a
system with more voices by intelligently processing the keys hit and passing MIDI
data through to the Poly Chain MIDI out jack where it can be routed to another
Evolver or Poly Evolver. Note that MIDI clocks are handled separately per the MIDI
Clock parameter.
Local Control: Off, On – Enables or disables the internal connection between the
keyboard and panel controls and the synth electronics. This is useful with some
sequencers.
Clock: see table – Selects the MIDI clock status, and enables External sequencer
triggers, as follows:
Display MIDI Clock Setting
Internal MIDI clock is neither sent nor received
MIDI Out MIDI clock is sent
MIDI In MIDI clock is received
M In Out MIDI clock is received and transmitted (use
with Poly Chain)
In no ss MIDI clock is received, but MIDI
start/stop/continue messages are ignored.
Combo Parameters
MIDI Mode: see table – Selects the Program to use for this Part.
Display MIDI mode
Off This Part will not respond to MIDI
Notes This Part only responds to MIDI notes
Cntrls This Part only responds to MIDI controller
messages
On All This Part responds to both MIDI notes and MIDI
controller messages
