Performance Controllers (files: “SetIni” and “SetTech”)
This Mixer Map specifically targeted at the CS2x Performance mode can be very advantageous despite the
existing GM/GS/XG Mixers. Here you will find a collection of the most important CS2x parameters that can
be changed via controllers. Mixer settings can be stored using SNAPSHOT and recalled at a later time.
LOGIC users are encouraged to use the existing GM/XG Mixers as found in the more recent LOGIC ver-
sions.
Finally a few additional notes about working with the Environment and Mixer Maps in LOGIC or CUBASE:
Working with LOGIC Environments
Do not open the LOGIC Environments by double-clicking the relevant instrument; instead call them up with
the pre-programmed SCREENSETS (numeric keys 1, 2 etc.)
When an Environment is open, do no select the Mixer instrument track when playing at the CS2x keyboard
or when its Arpeggiator is activated - otherwise the Environment is burdened by note events, which could
result in system instability.
To reset the faders to their default positions, play back “PartEQ Reset” or “Performer Reset” respectively
once you have de-muted them.
The GM/GS/XG Mixer available in the newer LOGIC versions, in combination with the supplied complimen-
tary Environment Layer “Part EQ” is well suited to song production. Unlike with CUBASE, the conversion to
events doesn’t happen automatically here, but needs to be initiated with the “Send Selected Fader Values”
function. This means that the Setup Parts are receiving all the other events that can be controlled with the
Environment, too. If you are using the GM/XG Mixer or the “Part EQ” (described in more detail below) you
can remove these events from the Setup Part. If you are making only a few to changes to the basic setup it
may be easier to simply edit the Setup Parts with the Environment Pages
Two further tips about PERFORMER:
You can work on the EQ parameters of several layers at the same time if you if highlight these beforehand by
dragging the mouse.
The knob faders can be remote-controlled from the respective CS2x knobs.
LOGIC: The GM/XG MIDI Mixer
The GM/XG MIDI Mixer is perfectly suited to the special requirements of the CS2x. Don’t be fooled by the
mixer’s description - it can be used for the CS2x Multi (XG) Mode as well as the Performance Mode,
although channels 2 - 4 are unavailable for the latter.
You can real-time control the following parameters with the virtual faders/rotary controllers: Volume (with
Mute switch), Pan, Cutoff, Chorus and Reverb. These are the default settings. In addition, you can assign
other parameters to the rotary controllers. For instance, if you want to control “Resonance” instead of “Pan”,
click “Pan” and change the controller number in the resulting menu to 71.
Bear in mind though that you can also control the Attack, Decay, Release, HPF Cutoff, LPF Cutoff and Res-
onance sound parameters with the CS2x knobs - this is often a better solution for real-time control. An ele-
gant approach would be to establish the basic song mix using the Mixer and then perform any real-time
control with the knobs and record these on a separate sequencer track.
