Common Labelling
Key : represents row,column - not a usable voltage must be connected to another KEY
KG : represents keygroup SIZE- not a usable voltage must be connected to another KG
LIGHT : used to trasmit LED information, not a usable voltage must be connected to another LIGHT
X : represents vertical action of a key, often used for key pitch bend, -5v to 5v
Y : represents horizontal/yaw of a key, often used for timbre, -5v to 5v
Z : represents the pressure on a key, 0v to 10v
General concepts
you must connect KEY, KG and LIGHT (optional) to other Meta Morph modules of the same name - these are NOT general purpose voltages.
e.g. Key is NOT v/oct. to get a v/oct you must use SCALER, which translates KEY to v/oct.
Polyphony is your main control over CPU usage, use it wisely !
e.g. if you have 16 voices the patch will use 16x resources.
be careful particularly with Split and Switch use these to reduce polyphony!
