64 Voice Polyphony
64 Voice Polyphony
512 User Presets
New Main Screen
Although its sound engine is designed for 64 voices, Audity was originally a
32-voice machine due to its powerful 12th order filters which used up the
available filter resources.
Audity 2.0 is now 64 voice polyphonic when 6th order filters are used or 32
voice polyphonic when all filters are 12th order. Audity’s intelligent 2.0
software dynamically allocates filter resources for maximum polyphony in
all situations. When using combinations of 6th and 12th order filters the
polyphony is between 32 and 64 voices.
By a feat of magic, 256 User Preset locations have been added for a total of
512. The Audity bank contains 640 factory ROM presets and the new
EXTREME ROM bank contains 256 ROM presets. That’s 1408 presets total!
Audity’s main screen has been improved to show the Preset Bank and to
include the Sound Navigator features.

Sound Navigator allows you to search through preset and instrument
categories to find the type of sound you’re looking for. Each preset and
instrument has a name and a three letter preset category. You can create
your own categories in order to group favorite presets. The category is
assigned in the Edit menu (Preset Name). Instrument categories are fixed.
When you want to find presets in a particular category, you simply change
the category field in the main screen, then move the cursor to the preset
name field to scroll through all the presets in the selected category.
When the cursor is on the Preset Category field, turning the Data Entry
Control selects different preset categories. The Name Field will change to
show the first preset in each category.

Compatibility with old Audity presets
Sound Navigator uses the first 4 characters of the Preset name for the
Navigator Category. Older Audity presets are not named using the category
prefix which would cause problems for Sound Navigator (this would create
hundreds of categories). Therefore, old presets are placed in a new category
called “usr:” (User) with the actual name listed to the right of the colon,
truncated to fit the remaining 12 characters with the following additional
rules:
Instrument Category
If there is a colon in the 4th character space, the name will not be
1.
altered in any way. The first 3 characters will simply be used as the
category and the rest of the name will remain the same.
If there is a character other than a colon in the 4th space, the preset will
2.
be assigned to the category “usr:” and the original name will start to the
right of the colon, truncating the length as necessary.
If the name needs to be truncated, the Audity will first try to remove
3.
spaces in the name so that it will fit.
Numbers at the end of the name will not be truncated and will remain
4.
as the final character of the name.
When the cursor is on the Instrument Category field (Edit menu), turning
the Data Entry Control selects different instrument categories. The Name
Field changes to show the first instrument in each category. Move the
cursor back to the instrument number to select instruments in the selected
category.

The MIDI standard calls for a two part bank select command consisting of
an MSB (most significant byte) and an LSB (least significant byte). Audity
version 1.0 ignored the MSB portion of the message. With the introduction
of the new EXTREME ROM bank, we have followed the standard MIDI
specification for bank selection. Select a bank, then send the program
change number. Without a bank select command, presets are selected from
within the current bank. The chart below shows the bank select commands
for the three sound banks.

In order to maintain compatibility with older sequences which do not send
the MSB portion of the Bank Select, there is a special feature added in
software version 2.0. If no MSB is sent, Audity assumes MSB 0 and all LSB
bank selects will act as in version 1.0 (i.e. your old sequences will work).
Once an MSB other than 0 is sent, Audity assumes that any LSBs are to be
applied to the most recent MSB.

If you have older sequences that send only the Bank Select LSB, it’s
probably a good idea to update the sequences to include both the MSB and
LSB. Otherwise, if you ran a newer sequence that included an MSB, LSB
bank select, presets in your older sequence may not be selected correctly.

Audity version 2.0 includes two additional USER preset banks (which
default to RAM copies of the AUDTY 0 and AUDTY 1 banks). Your old
sequences will work as long as you don’t modify the presets they use in
these new banks. This is yet another reason to update your sequences with
MSB & LSB bank selects.

Multisetups
Multisetups
A Multisetup is a group of parameters that you might associate with a
particular sequence or song. It is like a “snapshot” of the current MIDI
channel configuration of the module. There are 16 setups numbered 0-15.
Multisetups 0-14 are user programmable. Multisetup 15 is a factory preset.
A Multisetup includes ALL the following parameters:
Preset/Volume/Pan/Arp assignments for each of the 16 MIDI channels.
Multisetup Name
Clock Tempo or “Use MIDI” setting
ALL MASTER MENU PARAMETERS except…
MIDI Program Change->Preset map
User Key Tuning Tables

Multisetups can also be restored (selected) via MIDI Bank and Program
change commands. Bank Select: MSB = 80, LSB = 00, then send a Program
Change command (0-15) corresponding to the Multisetup you wish to
select.
To Enable the Multisetup Menu
