MS This column denotes whether the program is mono (M) or stereo (S). P The number in this column represents the required number of voices (OSC) per note. HPF High Pass Filter: Use the cutoff parameter to set the low frequency limit. When you do this, the sound will natu-
rally be brighter and thinner. A cutoff value over 64 usually needs to be selected just so you can hear the change.
MOD A special parameter of the LIMEX MIDI systems MPR3 M/P (not model L). Push up the value on any instrument
and listen to what this does for your sound. Adz. Velocity zones: ranges in which various samples may be played. ghost note
A “ghost note” is created by muffling the bass strings as they are played so much that no clear tone is heard. Use
these samples to add a groove to your MIDI files. * Without velocity in the usual sense.
These programs will not be louder or softer when played on an instrument with velocity. The value of velocity,
represented as VEL in the LIMEX patch editor, is used to select a zone of the program. If the trumpet or baritone
should be played softly, choose a VEL value in that range. For example, in program 64, SEPP 1-73mp / 74-97mf /
98-127 forte, the VEL value of 70 will play the mezzopiano sample; at value 74 the mezzoforte; and at VEL 120
the forte sample. Remember, all sounds are at the same volume.
WELCOME
Thank you for choosing a LIMEX sound product. This user reference manual explains the features of the LIMEX sound board ALPINMASTER 128MB.
ALPINMASTER 128
The 128MB sound board of the ALPINE MASTER 128 de­livers general MIDI sounds and a selection of LIMEX Ger­man folk music sounds from the TRADITION series. Whe­ther it’s pop, swing, tango or German folk music you’re after, the ALPINE MASTER 128 gets your music hoppin’. The general MIDI sounds are specially set up with the best sounds for the German-speaking entertainer. Com­bined with the LIMEX MPR3/P MIDI system and styles, the ALPINE MASTER128 becomes a professional arranger.
INTEGRATION
Here’s how the sound boards can be integrated into your system:
• Installation in the instrument (accordion or diatonic harmonica) that is equipped with a LIMEX MIDI system.
• Installation in a LIMEX rack unit, making four audio outputs available that can be sent separately to a mixer.
• Installation in a LIMEX W3 wireless receiver.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Sound board memory: Flash RAM Polyphony: 116 voices Effects: digital reverb and chorus Output: 4 audio outputs 48kHz sampling
Page 3
POLYPHONY
The sound board has 116-voice polyphony. By layering sounds, even this huge polyphony can be exceeded, which is noticeable in a short clicking sound while playing.
When you mix more than one program (i.e. accordion, dul­cimer and zither in treble), you might exceed the limits.

The parameter “AM” must be OFF in order to use the sound board with an MPR3 MIDI system.
AM is a special parameter for ALPINE MASTER 32 that led to complications with the new boards. The error occurs when a sound is heard only briefly and then gets stuck when a key is pressed shortly after the instrument is turned on.
There are two ways to set the parameter AM to OFF:
1. MC10 controller Press and hold down SELECT key + SAVE (purple) key + FILE (white) at the same time Release SELECT key Press SEL+ key more than once until [AM A ON] appears in the display Press “P” (gray) key one time Press SAVE (purple) key two times. Finished.

COMPATIBILITY - ALPINMASTER 32 (2006-2008)
USING PATCHES FROM ALPINE MASTER 32
The ALPINE MASTER 128 was designed to be as compatible as possible with the previous version, but some sounds did have to be moved. BANK 27 (extra for bass on MIDI accordions) is no longer available. Instead, you have a selection of new bass sounds from the TRADITION Exclusive 200 series in BANK 32. The guitar patch on BANK 27 is also no longer available; a new patch must be selected. This means you must re-select the bank and program numbers for any of your own patches that you want to continue using.
There are over 100 new patches for all LIMEX sound products ready for you. Just plug in and play.

ALPINE MASTER 128 offers a selection of German folk music sounds from the TRADITION Exclusive 200 sound board.
Info: Bass Bank 32
The bass programs on BANK 32 are special versions specically for accordion players. The program symbol C/Cis means that the lowest note C36 (36 is the key number) will automatically play one octave higher. Es/E means that all notes lower than E will play one octave higher. By simply selecting a program number, you can set how low the bass should be. The setting is purely a matter of personal taste, key and your own style.
Accordion and diatonic harmonica mechanics allow play within one octave. The range between low C and B (notes 36-47) has become the standard range for MIDI. However, the C-B range is rarely playable on natural bass instruments. The lowest note on four-string e-bass guitars and contrabass is E.
* NOTE This program does not react to velocity in the normal sense for MIDI accordions specically. The sound will not be louder or softer when you play with velocity by pressing the key faster or slower. Use the VEL value to select the samples in exactly the dynamic range that you want. Use the bellows dynamic to play louder or softer. In other words, you can play “piano” samples loudly if you so choose.

Janez Per  Baritone
LIMEX is delighted to have Janez Per of the “Alpenoberkrainer” play the second baritone for our product.
Janez Per is a class of his own, the talent behind the unique sound of the Alpenoberkrainer. Recordings of the baritone sounds are strongly inuenced by the famous ALPSKI sounds of the ’80s and ’90s, and have been edited with equalizers and an exiter.

Soli Music Baritone
This sound, played by multi-talented Tyrolean musician Guenther Sponring, has been used in most recent German folk mu­sic productions. Its neutral tone blends well and is very “exible” material for sound technicians. The baritone sound in the winning title for the Grand Prix of German Folk Music 2008 is a good example of the sound’s quality.

The programs below are from the popular SOLI-MUSIC Tradition XL series.
These guitar programs are not made of complete chords; they are combined recordings of single tones.
While recording, the individual guitar strings were also strummed in order to mimic the sound of the Oberkrainer rhythm gui­tars. The harder you press the key, the harder the sound will be – with smooth, continuous transitions between notes.

ALPIN MASTER 128 DRUMKITS
ALPIN MASTER 128 BANK 33
The ALPIN MASTER 128 contains one rhythm guitar in Oberkrainer style. Major, minor, septime and diminished chords are available in short and long strummed variations. See page 14 for a diagram of how the chords are assigned to the keys. When you press a key, a complete chord is played. This means that your MIDI system must be able to play just the base note on the accompaniment bass. Normally in the C-major chord, three notes are played: C, E and G. When a chord guitar program is selected, C-major, E-major and G-major play simultaneously.
In addition, the LIMEX MIDI System MPR3 plays this base tone in the pre-programmed octave on the chord keys major, minor, 7th and diminished.
This formula was rst introduced by SOLI-MUSIC 1994 and has been a part of LIMEX MIDI systems since 2001.
LIMEX MIDI System MPR3 patches are already perfectly adjusted for this system, so you don’t have to lift a nger.
Playing techniques
There are many ways to apply the rhythm guitar.
1. Standard version
Programs 21-23 are regular rhythm guitars, meaning that if you press 3 keys, 3 strings will be played; 5 keys pressed, 5 strings are played. Program 24 simulates a disharmonious guitar strumming sound. No matter which key you press, the sound always fits, but it isn’t as resonant as the 3 special chord guitar programs, 1, 7 and 13.
2. Chord guitar programs
Every key pressed plays a chord. The accompaniment bass keys play these programs perfectly. A compact, recorded chord always sounds more authentic than three individual strings played at the same time.
The only problem is its use on bass keys. The chord guitar sounds perfect and powerful when played on the ground bass, but when you play alternating bass, there are problems with the chord.
3. Chord conict, programs 1-16 on bass When you play a major chord of the bass on every ground bass, the following occurs:
C bass and C-major guitar / C chord bass and C-major guitar / G alternating bassline and G-major guitar / C chord bass and C-major guitar
This means that the guitar chord on the third bass tone in C-major plays incorrectly. A G alternating bassline is played when it should play a C-major chord.
At present, we have no way of telling the bass G note that it is sometimes a G-major alternating bassline but should be a C chord; and another time it should be a G-major base tone and play a G-major chord.
4. Resolving the chord conict
The only solution to the chord conflict is to avoid playing any guitar sound on the bass, but rather learn how to play the chord key at the same time as the bass is played. The only question is, who can do that and who wants to create a who­le new style just to do it?
5. Masking effect of our ears
When you are also playing on the treble side of the instrument, the incorrect chord – if it’s not pressed too long – will be drowned out. If you play bass and chord only on the left side of your instrument, you will always hear the wrong chord. LIMEX MIDI system patches include a chord guitar on bass. Simply turn off the volume for this sound to avoid the problem.

Chord assignments
The accordion has major, minor, 7th and diminished chords available. Diatonic button box instruments each have their own arrangement of minor chords. Using the LIMEX MIDI system, it’s even possible to play the minor chords of a chord guitar with a diatonic accordion.

TROUBLESHOOTING
DISTORTED SOUND:
* Turn down the master volume on the MC10. * Turn down the volume of the parts.
NO SOUND:
* Check the master volume control. * Check the audio connection to the amplifier.
MAJOR AND MINOR ON BASS
* If major and minor chords are playing on the bass of a MIDI accordion (this doesn’t affect diato-nic instruments), then the patch on the MIDI system is NOT set to the lowest C. Set the lowest note to C.
CHORD GUITAR IN WRONG KEY
* If the WRONG chords are playing on a diatonic accordion, the instrument has not been pro-gramed to the specified octaves. For all notes: Accompanying chords, small octave – bass, great octave In addition, the part that is playing the accompanying chord must be set to +3 on the octave parameter. All LIMEX fatory patches are pre-set to the correct octave.
HIGHEST NOTE DOESN’T ALWAYS PLAY
* Playing the high voice on one instrument (i.e. clarinet) and the lower voice on a second instru-ment (i.e. trumpet) takes practice. When you play downward, you must let go of one key before you play a lower note.
