The routing matrix has 8 input channels (grid inputs) that receive processed notes from voice layers. Each grid input can be routed to any combination of the 64 output rows.
Each grid input receives notes from a voice layer. The voice layer determines what notes arrive at that input:
Every note you play arrives at this input unchanged.
Only the lowest or highest held note arrives at this input.
A Split voice layer distributes chord notes across multiple grid inputs simultaneously. The intelligent chord revoicer decides which notes go where.
Each grid input can connect to multiple output rows:
Each connection in the matrix has its own settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Transpose | Shift notes up or down by semitones on this connection only. |
| Velocity Scale | Adjust velocity for this connection—useful for balancing layers. |
Grid inputs light up when receiving notes, so you can see MIDI activity flowing through the matrix in real time. This helps with debugging routing and understanding how your voice layers are distributing notes.
