The Sequencer
A 64 track sequence player with a resolution of 1/1536
th
notes. Although never intended to
rival the amazing editing capabilities of a software sequencer, the MULTIPLAYER can be
thought of as a vital additional tool for stage performance. It offers a compact and reliable
alternative in situations where the computer – far more at home in a cosy studio or office –
would be likely to let you down in the heat of the action. Since each song can be assigned its
own program number, songs can be selected as easily as the sounds on a synthesizer. With
the potential for memory expansion right up to 16 MBytes, it is possible with the unique
memory structure of the MIOC generation to get access to a maximum of 8192 songs nearly
without any loading time!
The MATRIX (Midi-Router)
The MIOC Midi processor has at its disposal a capable of recognizing, transforming and
rerouting Midi data in realtime. Each unit of the MIOC generation has the same Midi matrix
for its 2, 8 oder 16 MIDI in- and outputs and handles many of the masterkeyboard tasks as
split, transpose, velocity curves etc. Using FORNET the system may be extended to huge
arrays.
An exciting feature of the MIOC generation is their ability to use several matrix programs (up
to eight) simultaniously. This means that variations e.g. filter settings or velocity processing no
longer have to be programmed into every single matrix program.
The Wave Player
One digital stereo audio track offers playback capability for AIFF or WAVE files, sampling
rates from 5 kHz up to 50 kHz and the resolutions 8 and 16 bit. Each Wave is assigned to a
note number, therefore waves can – like the sounds of a drumset in a synthesizer – reside on
any desired key of a defined keyrange. Depending on the fittet harddisk and the RAM size
hundreds of waves can be assigned and played via the keyboard or the sequencer.
Daughterboards / Wavetables
The MULTIPLAYER offers plug-and-play capability via GM daughterboards (e.g. MIDITEMP,
ROLAND, YAMAHA, TURTLE BEACH, TERRATEC ...), which can directly be fittet inside the
MultiPlayer. They are internally accessed via a seperately software port (MP22 series) or OUT
7 (MP88-series), and can be monitored on one of the Audio output pairs of the MP.
SCSI Interface
All MULTIPLAYERs can optionally be delivered with built-in IDE-harddisk-drive. At the SCSI port
external removable or non-removable storage or SCSI-devices may be connected and used
with the audio functions of the MP.
Connecting a PC:
Connecting a PC:Connecting a PC:
Connecting a PC: By using a PC with built-in SCSI controllercard you can use this port to
organize the contens of the internal harddisk of the MP in a very comfortable way. These
devices will be recognized by the PC as additional drives.
Songtext display (Lyrics-/karaoke-function)
Together with the optional MIDITEMP karaoke card and a PAL TV set (even LCD/TFT monitors)
lyrics may be displayed in different font sizes and colours over different backgrounds. The
current syllables or words will be marked with a different colour, synchronized to the running
song, which makes it very easy for sing-along purposes.
FORNET network
Using FORNET, you can interconnect several MIOC units to make up for a higher number of
MIDI ports. For instance an interconnection of one MP88-W, one PMM-88E and one MT16-X
makes a system of 32 32 seperate MIDI in/outputs. On top of that you control the whole array
via one single remote control - even as if it would be a single unit! (not available for the
MP22-systems!)

Update Service
The update Service of a MULTIPLAYER is very easy. All units (2-Series
and older systems equiped with disk-drive and flash EEPROM) can update
their system via floppy disk. You don not have to open the unit, change an
EPROM, leave bloody spots on the board, etcetera – in about one minute
you can use all new functions!
And the update file contains the whole operating system – so you can
jump from an older version just to the latest without any problems!
To ensure that you have the most up-to-date version, please copy the
serial number of your device, which you will find on the back panel, onto a
postcard, together with your name and address, and register immediately at
the following address:

Chapter II - Basic operation
Setting up a system
You centainly may connect more than the above shown number of Midi-inputs, e.g. a second
keyboard, a midified accordeon, a breath controller (via your keyboard). Please notice the Midi-
output-chain should not serve more than three devices – otherwise you could catch a Midi dealy!
Remote controller
Every MIDITEMP system is controlled via the unique cable remote controller. Please connect
it with the delivered cable between the REMOTE SLOTS of the system and the remote controller.
The start/stop/continue sequencer functions, or the up/down matrix functions, can be
controlled via an optional foot switch. More examples you will find in the section »JOBS«(page 73).
Owner of an MP88 with 1st generation remote controller: in case of problems please contact
the MIDITEMP technical support.
You can use the W-series remote controller as well for the “old“ systems, of course.
MIDITEMP supplies the needed adapter.
New functions, like »AUDIO«can only reached with the W-series system and are without a
function with “older“ systems.

2. Display
The LCD display always shows where you are in the device, or, with the cursor position,
which parameter can be changed at that moment. Immediately after powering-up the unit is on the
highest operational level (= top level), and the display (default) is divided into an upper “Matrix” line
with one shown Matrix Bank and a lower “Sequencer” line showing the song Bank.
However, the “Display Layout” configuration function allows a different division to be used (page
28). You may also notice the „Night mode“ (page 39). The position of the mode arrow indicates
which mode the unit is in at any time.
3. Selecting Programs
$Press or , depending on whether you want to switch to a Matrix or Song Program.
The arrow jumps to the corresponding display line.
➊Enter a Program number using the number keys.
Number and name (if any) of the Program are now displayed, but as long as the arrow to the
left of the display is hollow and the cursor blinks right to the number the Program is not yet
recalled! You can also use !to search for the new Program, while the settings of the last
recalled Program are still active.
$Press . Through this action the new entry will be confirmed, and the new program is
activated.
The blinking cursor disappears and the arrow turns to black. This means that the unit has switched to
the displayed program and all settings of that program are now active.
4. Numbering your Songs
There are three different types of numbering your playlist of Standard Midi Files:
•Standard Bank/Programm mode
•3-digit-mode
•4-digit-mode

In the Standard Bank/Program

Standard Bank/Program mode the numbering is organized in a maximum of 56
Banks, each with up to 128 entries (= Midifiles). Via Midi you can reach them with Bank select
starting at no. 65, value is the desired song. All other numbering modes are based on this system,
but display your playlist in a linear counting system.
In the 3-digit
3-digit3-digit
3-digit mode you can choose your songs without using the bank button directly from
001 up to 999 songs in one display. You can select the song places via Midi still the same way as in
the Standard Bank/program mode (but only with eight different bank selects, of course).
In the 4-digit
4-digit4-digit
4-digit mode you can choose your songs without using the bank button directly from
001 up to 8.192 songs (7.168 if the wave player is activated) in one display. The possibility of
selecting song places via Midi are still the same as written above.
The system for the two linear counting modes is:
Bank S1A 1 to S1A 128 = S 001 to S 128
Bank S1B 1 to S1B 128 = S 129 to S 256
Bank S1C 1 to S1C 128 = S 257 to S 384
etc.
&An assign-file written with an operating system higher than version 4.09 can only be
read with an older version if the Standard Bank/program mode had been used!
5. Selecting functions
Almost all functions of the unit are recalled with a special kind of menu
menumenu
menu. For instance, if
you are in Sequencer mode and press , the upper line of the display will show “Select
Function”. In the lower line three letters will appear above each number key. These are
abbreviations for the names of each function. The number keys act as soft keys
soft keyssoft keys
soft keys (keys with variable
functions). Pressing a number key ( to ) will immediately call up the relevant function. If
arrows appear above the keys and , there are more functions in the specified direction. In
case you forget what one of the abbreviations means, simply turn the data wheel !. The LED of
the number key for each function will flash, and the function’s full title will appear in the upper line
of the display. The required function can then be called up either by pressing or by pressing
the relevant number key.
After entering a function, the number keys may still serve as soft keys, whereas the data
wheel in this stage is more likely to be used to set parameter values instead of selecting functions.

inputs and outputs (e.g. on the MT-16 X), the extra ones are displayed by turning !or and ).
With the numeric keys these ports can be switched on or off (see also page 85).
The keys and also provide instant access to the input and output stages from
within the Routing, Split and similar functions. The LED of one of the keys will flash to show whether an
input or an output has been selected. After a selection has been made the display will show the current
settings for this port.
If a function affecting the MIDI inputs or outputs is selected, the LEDs will light on the number
keys to show which inputs or outputs have active assignments, data filters etc. This makes it easier to find
and alter event filters etc.
6. Finding your way around Matrix Banks
The organisation of the total of 128 Memory Banks (each one of them containing 128 Pro-
gram spaces), definitely is not easy to understand as a whole, however, while you are working with it, you
will always find it logical and it never distracts.
You just shouldn’t care thinking about using all of the theoretically possible 16384 Programs
at the same time. More likely the task is to use the complexity of this structure in a way that for each
Song, each masterkeyboard, each working situation you have the right set of Programs.

6.1 Example: Organizing Matrix programs
Let's say you work in two different situations: you play in a live band, and you
occasionally do songwriting at home. Let’s also assume you have a professional master keyboard
with polyphonic aftertouch and several synth modules permanently installed in your transportable
rack for stage work. At home you have a few more MIDI devices plus a sequencer for composition
purposes. To satisfy all your (MIDI-) needs in both situations, it is a good idea to create a single
global program for each of the above scenarios to cover all the various basic conditions:
*For the live band, this program could filter out the superfluous aftertouch data and increase the
velocity sensitivity of the keyboard so that you don't have to hammer your fingers to the bone
when the engineer turned you down …. You can also determine a MIDI input and channel for
the first (M1A) bank’s MIDI program changes: this allows the master keyboard to be used to
select sub-programs which are only needed for specific songs or passages.
*For home use, you’ll want to record all the data from the master keyboard without changing it,
so filter functions etc. won't apply here. Though you can program your composing environment;
programming conditions like “I always want the drum pads to appear with channel 10 on MIDI
port A of my sequencer”, and so on.
It’s best if the “global program” is created in Group 8 (please read also section
“Combining control methods”, page 104), because you won’t need to edit this program while
playing. The “sub-programs” within the global program are stored in the first bank and contain only
those routing, filter and processing functions which are required for specific sounds or songs. The
advantage is that the global settings defined for both scenarios above don’t have to be programmed
again for each sub-program.

&The possibilities offered by even just two active Matrix Programs are pretty staggering. For instance
you could use the Programs of Group 2 to filter out unwanted events from any of the Midi inputs.
Provided you don’t switch off the Program containing these filters, it will perform its functions
independently from the Program in Group 1. This means that you no longer need to call up lots of
different Matrix Programs just to get them to filter out an extra type of event - you only need to alter a
single Program in Group 2, and the new settings will act on the whole device. Then you could make
the Banks in Group 1 (as well as the Song Banks, of course) respond to Midi Program Changes so
that you can control your Matrix via Midi in the usual way.
If you want to connect several Midi musicians into a Matrix, each one of them (up to a maximum of
eight) can be given his or her own Group containing the programs that determine the routings
required by the musicians. Midi Remote can be used independently for each Bank (i.e. that thankfully
each musician will only be changing Programs within his or her own Group). Each of the eight Banks
within a group contains 128 Program spaces so no-one is going to run out of memories.
When networking more than one device the number of Midi ports increases, as does the total number
of available Banks. The number of simultaneously active Banks, however, remains the same as for
one device - no more than ten (8 x Matrix, 1 x Song, 1 x Wave).

7. General rules of naming
During the work it turned out to store the results in intervals because some of them could get
lost if the power shuts down (... maybe in a break down of the current supply). Therefore you find
some different types of storing. But all of them have the method of naming in common:
At the end of a storage operation you find in the lower line of the display the name suggestion of the
MIDITEMP (e.g. assign.asg, noname.mid, matrix.m88 ...).
$press to get the cursor
➊select by using the soft keys the character class (spc, 1, A, a, ins and del) and insert the
sign at the current cursor position – or erase the sign at the cursor position:
☞=> space
☞=> numbers
☞=> capital letter
☞=> small letter
☞=> insert
☞=> delete
➋After slecting the character class with the soft keys you choose the needed
sign by the !data wheel.
➌press to jump one position further.
➍press to close the storage.
%press to leave.

Working with storage functions normally the MIDITEMP shows the right extension for that menu you
are in. Press to refresh the display or to show all file extensions (very useful after changing a
removable storage device like a disk without leaving the menu.)
&In the storage functions pressing doesn’t produce an “a“ but a “_“ or
a “ “ because filenames with small letters are not allowed!

8. PANIC - Transparent MIDI Reset (TMR)
Any connection between two MIDI instruments which is accidentally or prematurely broken
could result in “hanging” notes, where notes which are already sounding are never told to stop, or in
controllers which were in use at the time not being zeroed or switched off. Worse than that, if any of
your expanders do not recognize the “All Notes Off” command, you could be in serious trouble in a
live situation.
All MIDITEMP devices have a “Transparent MIDI Reset” function, which can correct these
problems without interrupting the flow of incoming MIDI data, with the result that these catastophes
usually pass unnoticed.
Simply press the on the highest level (also works on many other levels). The display
shows ** Transparent MIDI Reset ** and the “Panic” function commences immediately. While the
function is at work (approx. 6 seconds) you may continue to play your master keyboard, or run the
Sequencer. Pressing any other key will abort the “Panic” function, otherwise the device will return to
the Mode you were in at the time you pressed the “Panic” button.
In the Configuration Menu „Miscellaneous“ you can exclude this function on the top level to
prevent an inadverntently release during a live situation on stage.
The following data is sent via all MIDI ports and channels when the Panic function is activated:
The following data is sent via all MIDI ports and channels when the Panic function is activated:The following data is sent via all MIDI ports and channels when the Panic function is activated:
The following data is sent via all MIDI ports and channels when the Panic function is activated:
☞Pitch Wheel Value 64 (neutral point)
☞Controller No. 1 (Modul.) Value 0
☞Controller No. 2 (Breath Ctrl.) Value 0
☞Controller No. 33 (Mod. [fine]) Value 0
☞Controller No. 64 (Hold/Sust.) Value 0
☞Controller No. 65 (Portamento) Value 0
☞Controller No. 66 (Sostenuto) Value 0
☞Controller No. 67 (Soft Pedal) Value 0
☞Note Off 1-128 on all 16 MIDI channels
&The huge amount of data necessary for this function can sometimes mean that you will experience
slight timing delays during complex passages. This is because the expanders, and indeed the MIDI
ports themselves, are being stretched to the limit. It is usually only the expanders which are in “Omni
Mode” which have the most trouble. This is because they have to laboriously process every
command on every channel.
