Re: Command Station FAQ Draft Finished

2002-01-25 by beat_rebel

There is a problem with the FAQ:
The Command Stations can control up to 64 MIDI channels, not 512! 
There are 32 internal MIDI channels(times 4 layers per preset equals 
128 voice polyphony) which are named 01A through 16A and 01B through 
16B. There are 2 MIDI outs(MIDI Out A and MIDI Out B) with 16 MIDI 
channels each for a total of 32 external MIDI channels. 32 plus 32 
equals 64. Got it? There are 16 sequencer tracks and each can control 
up to 16 channels, but this is of course limited to the channels that 
are available to the Command Station.

P.S. I'm surprised that someone as knowledgable as you rEalm would 
miss that one ;)
