important here that basic channels and hold channels do not coincide. In other words, make sure that the basic channel and the hold channel values are at least five digits apart. Typically this parameter is set to ”7”, reserving channels 7-12 for the hold functions.

SEQ CHANNEL

MIDI channel for internal soundboard drum sequences (1…16) The output from the drum sequencer that is built into the internal soundboard will have its own separate MIDI channel. It is important here that the SEQ CHANNEL not coincide with any of the BASIC CHANNEL or HOLD CHANNEL reserved MIDI channels. Make sure you choose a free channel and reserve it for drum sequences using this parameter. Typically this value is set for ”16.” This parameter is only available to those who have the internal sound board installed.

PBEND RANGE

Pitchbend limit values (OFF, 1….24). Techniques often used by string

players are vibrato, glissando, slurs & slides. In order to effectively interpret these techniques that are fairly unique to string players, your ZETA SYNTHONY II uses the MIDI controller Pitchbend. In much the same way that a keyboard player hits a key and then uses his pitchwheel to modify the pitch, your ZETA SYNTHONY II can generate pitchbend information for bowed notes. In order for the built-in sound module or the external MIDI instrument to correctly play this pitchbend information the limit values for pitchbending need to be set. The value you choose relates to the number of halfsteps that the pitch will be allowed to be bent. Make sure that your MIDI instrument can interpret the values you program for this parameter. If possible, set this value to 24 (two octaves). The value OFF sends no pitchbend information, so that when you bend strings or slide, the resulting pitch wil change in halfstep increments.

SND PBENDRG

Send Pitchbend Range (ON/OFF)

If your MIDI instrument allows pitchbend parameter settings for every Preset (sound), set this parameter to ON. In this case your ZETA SYNTHONY II

sends the pitchbend range event directly after every program change event. If your MIDI instrument saves pitchbend information in its global area, set this value to OFF.
