CH 1:STUDIO PATCHESINTRODUCTIONWHAT ARE STUDIO PATCHES?Studio Patches route (and process) MIDI data to and from instrumentscontained in your current Studio Setup document. StudioPatches, which are created and edited with the Studio Patches Editorapplication, are stored in Patch documents on your hard drive.Each Patch document may contain:• Up to 128 patches• Any number of Virtual Controllers• Any number of Virtual Instruments• Any number of Program Change Sources• A Patch ChainPatches can perform a wide range of MIDI processing and are constructedby connecting various modules together in the StudioPatches Editor. The patch modules include splitters (for channels,note range, and velocities), modifiers (for velocity, mono/poly aftertouch,and controller values), a transposer, and a control numbermapper. The various patch modules are discussed in Chapter 2:Patch Modules.Virtual Controllers and Virtual Instruments are extremely powerfulfeatures of Studio Patches. A Virtual Controller is the output of aMIDI device plus some form of MIDI processing. A Virtual Instrumentis some form of MIDI processing routed to one or more MIDIdevices. Virtual Controllers and Virtual Instruments can be valuableaids for both sequencing and live performance. They’re discussed inChapter 3: Virtual Controllers and Virtual Instruments.Program Change Sources allow you to specify various ways tochange Studio Patches. They’re discussed in Chapter 4: ProgramChange Sources.A Patch Chain is a sequence of patches that can be stepped throughwith a MIDI controller, or with the Studio 5’s optional footswitches.Ch 1: Studio Patches Introduction - 1 - Studio Patches Manual
Patches are strictly real-time, live-playing MIDI connections; they donot actually affect the MIDI data that an application sends orreceives. MIDI applications will always receive from the sources towhich they are connected and be able to send to any destinations,regardless of what the current patch does. Since most sequencers provide MIDI thruing (routing) from within theapplication, you may wish to keep Studio Patch #1 as an “empty” or“do nothing” patch for use with sequencer programs.COMPATIBLE MIDIINTERFACESTo use Studio Patches you must have an Opcode Studio 5, Studio 4,Studio 64X or Studio 64 XTC. Below are some important details, specificto each interface, that you should know.• Studio 5: The Studio 5 has built-in RAM that can store a Studio Patchdocument. This means that the Studio 5 can use Studio Patches(recalled from its front panel) without being connected to acomputer.• Studio 4: In order to use Studio Patches, this interface must be connectedto your Macintosh and an OMS application must belaunched.Studio Patch processing occurs in addition to any processing performedby the Studio 4’s Routing, Channelizing and MutingWindow. When first learning to use Studio Patches, you may wantto disable all routings in this window.• Studio 64X, Studio 64 XTC: In order to use Studio Patches, thisinterface must be connected to your Macintosh and an OMSapplication must be launched.Studio Patch processing occurs in addition to any processing performedby the Studio 64X’s User/Preset Programs, as defined in theProgram Edit Window. When first learning to use Studio Patches,you may want to disable all routings in this window. NOTE: Although Studio Patches require one of the above mentionedinterfaces, you can use devices that aren’t attached to your interface(such as a SampleCell card) in Patch documents.Ch 1: Studio Patches Introduction - 2 - Studio Patches Manual
