GLOBAL MODE

The GLOBAL MODE is activated by pressing the GLOBAL button on the front panel of your ZETA SYNTHONY II. This is confirmed by the lighted LED just to the right of the GLOBAL button.

GLOBAL PARAMETERS

All of the parameters in Global mode apply to all the presets in your ZETA SYNTHONY II, for example information regarding MIDI channels, the instrument you are playing, basic tuning, or the sensitivity of each string you play. Some of these parameters should be checked/changed before you use your ZETA SYNTHONY II for the first time so that it can operate optimally with your instrument.

BASIC CHANNEL

Basic MIDI Channel (1…11)

The MIDI information that your ZETA SYNTHONY II generates based on the vibrations of your strings that are sent to it have to be assigned to a channel in order for that information to get to the sound module or the external MIDI instrument that will then play the information. The ideal scenario (see STRING MODE SEPARATE) is for each individual string to be assigned its own MIDI channel. The advantage is that controller information that is generated parallel to pitch information only effects the sound generated by that particular string. For example pitch bend information generated by vibrato on one string should only affect that one string and not all the others that are presently sounding. With the parameter BASIC CHANNEL, you need only set the FIRST of the channels for your strings. The other channels will automatically be assigned respectively. For example, if this value is set to ”1”, then channels 1-4 will be reserved for the four strings. Typically this parameter is set to ”1”, reserving channels 1- 4 for string input.

HOLD CHANNEL

Hold MIDI Channel (1…11)

In the same way that the first of four channels was set for the BASIC CHANNEL parameter, so the first of an additional four MIDI channels is set here for Hold effects such as SEPARATE, LAYER, ARPEGGIO. It is
