(1) Multsetups save:
Preset/Volume/Pan/Arp assignments for each of the 32 MIDI channels.
Multisetup Name
ALL Controllers menu parameters
ALL Global Menu parameters, except
User Key Tuning Tables
ALL Arp Menu parameters, except
User Arp Patterns
ALL MIDI Menu parameters, except
MIDI Program Change->Preset Map
This is far more than what is normally saved in patterns. I recommend
scrolling through each of the submenus listed above to see what's
saved. For example, (a) Viewing Angle [a Global parameter] gets saved
in multis; (b) Trigger, Knob, and Footswitch assignments get saved
[Controller settings]; (c) Arp/Riff MIDI Out [Arp settings] gets
saved; etc..
(2) I typically have special setups which have different
configurations of MIDI I/O [track/channel & clock settings]. If I am
working on a project, I usually do a quick save [named something like
2006-04-20] tomake sure I have **all** settings saved.
Among others, I have specialized settings saved as templates for
certain tasks, such as:
Riff Record - allows me to easily record riffs into patterns
16 Tracks->Ext - a multi which works with some of my pattern
templates which have tack data setup to route data to external gear
Electronica 2006 - which has triggers and controllers set up for
live performance of arps.
Sonar as Master - has MIDI I/O & Clock settings so that my E-Mu
slaves to Sonar
Recorder Reset - starting point template for track by track
recording primarily for use with my Casio DH-100 MIDI Sax which only
transmits on channel 1 [guarantees rechannelize is on; often I have
it off]
RA-30 # 1 - for quick tunes when I have the E-Mu sequencer driven
by by an "Intelligent Arranger"
Factory Setup - for when I muck up things so badly that its just
easiler to start fresh
Some use multisetups to configure controllers for use with software
synths.
(3) I am currently working on developing a live performance modality
for a piece where some triggers-->arps are latched and other triggers-
->arps aren't. Keep in mind, that although there are only 16 buttons,
you can also switch back and forth between track mode and trigger
mode. So you can not only turn up to 16 arps on with triggers, you
can also mute and unmute 16 tracks--each of which can have data on up
to 16 midi channels.
