SINGLE VS MULTI

As mentioned, you may avhieve similar results in the MULTI mode where you can create

multi-timbral setups, key splits, layered programs (and combinations of these) very quickly

and easily. The advantages MULTI has over the ‘old Akai’ methods are

• Selection of programs for a part is quick and easy.

• You can try out different sounds very easily and is therefore ideal for loading in, say, a

few pianos, a few basses, a few drum kits, etc., and experimenting with different

combinations of sounds. Equally, when layering, choosing and experimenting with

combinations is extremely quick.

• When changing sounds, any mixer parameters, effects assignments, etc., you may

have set in the MULTI remain constant so you do not have to reset everything every

time you change a sound.

• You can use the same program several times in a MULTI. For example, you may

layer a strings program (or whatever) on top of itself with some detune for a richer

sound simply by applying the same program to two (or more) parts, giving those parts

the same MIDI channel and setting a FINE TUNE value for each as appropriate (to

achieve the same result in SINGLE requires that you make a copy of the program).

• In the case where a program is layered on top of itself for detuning, editing one of

them will affect both so that you can make changes to the whole sound with one

sionple action (for example, layering a string pad on top of itself with some detune

and editing the attack of one of the parts will cause both parts to be affected).

• You may select different programs independently on different MIDI channels (i.e.

send a program change on channel 5 to select a new string sound in part 5).

• You can save the multi file with a meaningful name (i.e. BACK TRACK 3 or the name

of the song, whatever).

• If you are new to samplers, the MULTI mode corresponds more with most other

sound module’s implementation that you may be more familiar with.

The disadvantages of MULTI is that only one multi file may reside in memory at once

(although any number may be saved to disk) and you can’t have more than sixteen

programs active at any one time.

The advantages of using the ‘old Akai’ method are:

• You can have several multi-timbral setups or layers in memory at any one time and

recall them with a single MIDI program change (ideal for live work where you may

have the backing tracks for all your songs in memory).

• You may have more than sixteen programs active at once (although there are not

more than sixteen MIDI channels, you may have layered programs in a multi-timbral

setup).

The disadvantages, however, are:

• Changing sounds in a multi-timbral setup and experimenting with different

combinations of sounds can be awkward.

• You cannot select a new program for one of the parts using MIDI program change

commands (you can’t send a MIDI program change on MIDI channel 5 to select a

new string sound for that part, for example).
