[A6] MIX Mode --- was (SoundDiver and the a6

[Cyril Blanc]

Hello Jeff

Thank you very much for your idea.

I HAVE SOLVED MY PROBLEM, You cannot imagine how I am happy

The problem is that the A6 reserve the number of voices in the MIX for each
midi channel defined in a MIX

So if you use the 127 User Mix given by Alesis you can only play one note by
midi channel. THAT WAS THE TRICK !

You must disable some channels so you get more voices per midi channel

When you think I have this problem for so many years now it was so simple.

It is worth sometimes to get angry !

Now I am going to keep my A6  an limit the mix 127 to 4 midi channels

Thanks to you and to everybody that gave help

By the way, UNISON-X is automaticly set by the midi program change !

Best

Cyril
