How to Setup OMS Studio Patches (1997) - House of Synth

When you design patches using Virtual Controllers created in a“multiplying” connection, avoid using the Virtual Controllers independently.Either use all of the Virtual Controllers created in amultiplying connection or don't use any at all. If you don't use all ofa multiple connection's Virtual Controllers, you will waste microprocessorpower since you'll send MIDI data to Virtual Controllers thataren't in your patch.For example, if you wanted to create a patch where your left handcontrols one module and your right hand controls another, youcould use the two Virtual Controllers shown in Figure 62.Figure 62: Patch Using Virtual Controllers from Multiplying ConnectionIf, however, you wanted to create a patch where only your left handcontrolled a module, you should use the “LH: B3&DOWN” VirtualController shown in Figure 63.Figure 63: Patch Using Virtual Controllers from Non-Multiplying ConnectionIf, instead of using the “LH: B3&DOWN” Virtual Controller in thepatch, you used the “LH: C4 Split” Virtual Controller shown inFigure 62, you would waste processing power since all MIDI eventsgenerated by the K2000 (other than notes and poly aftertouch) aresent to both the “LH: C4 Split” and “RH: C4 Split” Virtual Controllers.Since this patch doesn’t use the “RH: C4 Split” VirtualController, this would be an inefficient use of Virtual Controllers andyour interface’s microprocessor.USING VIRTUALCONTROLLERSWITH VISIONOMS applications such as Vision and Studio Vision (versions 1.3 orlater) treat Virtual Controllers as they would any other MIDI inputdevice.Ch 3: Virtual Controllers and Virtual Instruments - 42 - Studio Patches Manual
