Why cant certain midi tracks be used in multi timbral mode. Even when changing the bank there is no sound as if it is on mute. It is like a waist of a track. On the mpc I would skip 1a record on 2a, but then i skip 3a with no sound and so on. Can someone help me with a explanation. |

If you do not have a PART assigned to a MIDI channel then there will be no sound on that channel. Since each of the 16 PARTS can be assigned to any MIDI channel, if a channel is not sounding in response to data - it is because you are not sending data on the channel to which it is assigned.
By default the PARTS equal the corresponding MIDI channel:
But, for example, if you assigned PARTS 1, 2 and 3 to MIDI channel 1, then obviously nothing will sound when send in MIDI channel 2 or MIDI Channel 3… Basic MIDI stuff…
You assign MIDI channels in the Motif Rack as follows:
