MULTISTATION MIDITEMP MS-X Features

MIDI

The MIDI part of the MultiStation is based on processing functions like routing, splitting and merging MIDI data stream. All processors are configurable by user individually.

MIDI Player

Playing of standard MIDI file format 0 and 1 is a basic performance of the MultiStation. The double MIDI player is a pretty new feature. Two different standard MIDI files can be faded in and out with defined fading time. It is useful for continuous playing of MIDI files without any stop. You can play one song with up to 8 different sound expanders because every MIDI file track can be routed to any MIDI output or internal sound generator. Incoming MIDI data can be merged with the MIDI player's song data and routed to the outputs. External ' internal MIDI clock synchronization or MIDI time code and song position pointer are supported. Preferably you can completely automate the playback process by building song chains and by using the JOB functions. You can send the start ; stop commands either by pushing a button on the remote control. by pressing the footswitch or via MIDI. Songs can be stored either on the internal hard drive, on external SCSI storage devices or on SmartMedia cards. Songs can also be transferred to the MultiStation by real time recording through MIDI. You can use the MUItiStation as a librarian for various MIDI data. e.g. sys-ex parameter from your synthesizers, expanders etc.. too. The MulfStation is able to record different tracks simultaneously on all MIDI inputs. You can repeat the recording process until all 64 tracks of standard MIDI file have been recorded.

MIDI Matrix

The fully programmable MIDI matrix maintains the appropriate connections between your MIDI keyboards and expanders and offers plenty of useful processing functions. Separate routing, merging. converting and filtering of different inputs is possible on a MIDI channel level allowing you realization of any virtual MIDI connection. The presets will store all settings including processing functions that can be recalled by the push of a button.

MIDI Functions

Split: 16 zones per input. Transpose: whole keyboard or any zones by +:- 64 half tones. Filter: for any MIDI data. each input. output and MIDI channel separately. Velocity: switch. limit. offset. Data Converter: controller converting. Send Functions: Program change incl. bank select. volume. MIDIclock. Send data (any MID! data). TMR: transparent MIDI reset resets harging MIDI notes without interrupting the flow of incoming MIDI data. 2

AUDIO

The Audio Part of the MultiStation is based on a combination of 24 bit digital audio technology and 32 bit multi DSP processing.

MP3

The MultiStation includes multiple MP3 decoders, that play back up to 8 MP3 encoded audio files/tracks simultaneously, that means your whole digital audio production with 8 tracks. It is also possible to fade from one file to another without stopping the playback. MP3 encoder will be available as an optional software module. You can use it for compressing your own audio recordings or digital audio transferred to the MultiStation. This can save you significant storage space.

Digital Audio Player / Recorder

The built-in Wave (WAV and AIFF) Player is an amazing enrichment for your MIDI songs. It gives your MIDI files 8 extra digital audio tracks that may contain effects and sounds like vocals. The MultiStation uses different modes of playing back digital audio. You can recall the waves from the effects palette by the push of a button or you can use them as long digital audio tracks that are triggered from notes in the corresponding MIDI song. The audio playback will be then synchronous to the MIDI song. Of course, you can use the HD Player independently of the MIDI Player. The Audio Recorder records one stereo or mono track from any combination of sources to WAV audio file.

Audio Mixer

The Audio mixer can mix all audio tracks, all 64 tracks from the soundgenerator, line-in's and CD-audio. It is possible to set routing, panning and volumes on each track separately. Any mixer input can be routed right to analog output and/or to the internal effect processor. It offers effects like reverb, echo and chorus. Additional effects will be available as optional software modules.

Soundfont Synthesis

The built-in Sound Generator with 64 voices polyphony is based on wavetable audio synthesis. The Multistation's generator works with SoundFont format. You can have different sound banks stored on hard disk and reload them as needed. The sample RAM can store up to 48 MB of SoundFonts, allowing the use of high quality samples that professionals are demanding. Jhe_.MuItitstation comes standard with a GM/GS the :Sound

CONTROL

Remote Controller

The use of the Multistation is easy because it is equipped with a comfortable remote controller. Controlling is based on a full graphic touch screen display with resolution 320 x 240 pixels. It offers effective orientation inside MIDI processors and audio parameters and also flexible song handling and selection. All processors and song lists support sorting by single touch so you can find desired song or file easily. Many screens contain icons for intuitive navigation in the whole system. Touch any of them and enter another section of the device.

Lyrics

The MultiStation comes standard with a TV-output for displaying song lyrics saved in MIDI files on TV screens or video projectors. Singing is made easy by highlighting the current text part while the text smoothly scrolls up through the scereen. The MultiStation brings you also the Karaoke function on the remote controller, without need for a TV screen. Reading song lyrics from the remote controllers display will let you forget turning over the lyrics pages forever. Optional JPEG and MPEG software modules will be available for effective use of the TV-out. With these modules you will be able to make up slide shows from pictures or compressed videos that may accompany your music productions. The Multistation offers possibility to connect two** remote controllers to one Multistation. Then is possible to control all MultiStation parameters from two different people. This is especially helpful in case that different musicians need to access the MultiStation simultaneously. E.g. reading the song lyrics by two singers in different stage position.

** Note: second remote controller is optional (not included)
