That was a Shrike post a year ago or so. I have the PG but I can't find where it explains how to do that. How do you get multi timbres to a single track?Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2008 9:31 pm Post subject:
In SEQ mode, you can play all 16 timbres at once or do any kind of layering you want, more complex than in COMBI mode. The thing is that all timbres on same channel can be heard at once. So what you can do is this:
1. assign some string at timbre 1, channel 1, layer it up to C4; assign some solo sound to timbre 16, channel 1, layer it from C#4 up to the end of the keyboard; assign one more solo to timbre 15, channel 1, layer it the same way;

You're not reading his post carefully (and he's using 'timbre' in place of 'track').
In case it's not clear, he's making the assumption that the sequencer isn't playing; if you're playing back a sequence, all tracks with recorded data will sound, regardless of MIDI channel.
There are 16 tracks in the sequencer. Each can have their own MIDI channel, and each can have a sound loaded. There can be only one currently selected track.
If the currently selected track is track 1, and track 1 and 6 are set up to use MIDI channel 9, then the sounds for tracks 1 and 6 will both sound at the same time (or, if one of the tracks is type EXT or EXT2, they will send MIDI data to external devices on track 9). If track 2 is on MIDI channel 8, it will only sound if an external MIDI device is sending to your Triton on channel 8; no matter how you configure the keyboard, track 2 will not sound.
Now, say you select track 2. When you do, tracks 1 and 6 will not sound and track 2 will.

Aha!! Found it. P2 sequencer mode. That's pretty cool. I generally don't think MIDI because it is a instrument/computer interface and the only time I use Mac is when I record demos. (Garage Band. Good enough. And simple. ) But using MIDI for what Shrike and you wrote about would be very good indeed even if you're not using it with other tone generators, which I'm not. I am, after all, a woodwind player, not a technician.
Perhaps I didn't read it carefully the first time but by the 10th I was reading as carefully as I could. You are right to point out the source of confusion . "Timbre." From the very start, in the TC manual, using "timbre" to mean track with program and parameters seemed to me the wrong use of that word. It is an incorrect use of the word. Timbre really means something that distinguishes a voice or instrument from other voices or instruments. (The timbre of the grand piano is different from the timbre of acoustic piano.) And the writers of the manuals don't even stick with it. By the time they get to the MIDI section in the BG, they're writing "track". (p.114, BG for Classic.) There must be a different term to describe the ensemble of the track (a blank thing I guess) with its program(s), incl. the parameters controlling that program. How about "tram"?
Oops. That was a rant.

You guys truly got this one out of the archives. Indeed, sequencer is just doubled combi mode; while it can't always be fully utilized with all 16 tracks in one complex combi due to poliphony restrictions, it's posibilities in aspect of quick change of multiple sounds on dedicated midi channels are more functional than similar things in combi mode. Of course, in this presumption one doesn't use any of the tracks for actual sequences. Although, assigning one track just for RPPR which contain program change messages only enables program changing with pressing on actual performing keys on keybed... See posts in M3 section on this topic. Sequencer mode is the ultimate tool for live performance when used solely as tone generator.
