A friend of mine has a Casio CZ-101, a Mac, and several
MIDI software programs.
I know nothing about Casios.
Question - When doing MIDI 'multi-tracking', how does one
get access to the Casio's multi-timbral capabilities?
We can get it to play back 4 voices at once, but not with
different timbres.
Thanks, Karl

What you have to do is put it into "SOLO" mode. Then, when you hit
the MIDI button, you'll get a display that shows the base channel,
and the program assigned to it lights up (the preset/internal/
cartridge light, the 1 ... 8 light, and the select light). You can
change the base channel (it's the one on the left I think) with
the up down keys. Once you've picked a base channel, you can assign
programs to the next 3 successive channels by using the up/down
keys on the channel number on the right side of the display (use
the cursor key to get to it as usual). Select the program you want,
and go on to the next channel. You select the program as usual,
with the preset/internal/cartridge, 1..8 and select keys. The base
channel notion works as follows - if you pick 1 as the base, you
receive on 1, 2, 3 and 4. You can assign the same or different
programs to each channel. If you pick (e.g.) 7 as the base, you
receive on 7, 8, 9 and 10. Etc. I think they wrap around at the
top (i.e., if you set the base to 14, you receive on 14, 15, 16
and 1), but they might not.
Got it?

You can also assign programs remotely over the MIDI in by sending
program changes on the appropriate channels. Again the 4 channels
are base, base+1, base+2 and base+3. It will only receive on 4
adjacent channels in SOLO mode.

Lest you forget - the program change numbers on the CZ-101 are
disjoint. They go:
MIDI Program CZ-101 Program
change no.
0 - 15 Preset 1 - 16 (9 - 16 = Select 1 - 8)
16 - 31 Preset 1 - 16
32 - 47 Internal 1 - 16
48 - 63 Internal 1 - 16
64 - 79 Cartridge 1 - 16
80 - 95 Cartridge 1 - 16
I think that's everything you need to know.

Len,
Sounds good. Will print and pass along the info.
Thanks, Karl
