Note: This preset makes no sound. It is used to upgrade older Continuums for use with the EaganMatrix module acting as a DSP upgrade.

The older L1x and C1X continuums can be upgraded to support L2X compatibility by connecting the Continuum’s MPE/Midi output to an EaganMatrix Module that is purchased for this upgrade. An internal DSP Upgrade for older continuums, will no longer be an option. You must upgrade by adding an EaganMatrix module as your new DSP (or secondary DSP in cases where you want to layer sounds using current L1X/C1X Continuum Polyphony limitations).

In this case the Continuum is set to be a MPE+ controller only and the EMM functions as the DSP upgrade. This preset turns off routing of MPE to the internal DSP as it sets polyphony to 8 (the max supported by EMM) that will likely distort internal sounds. It also maintains MPE+ output and pitch bend of 96 to maintain the expected Continuum output. It also set Priority to Low so you can predict better what MPE channels are output when you play.

Connect your editor to the Continuum and store this as User Preset #1 to make it easy to use. Then you can connect the editor to the EMM instead to change presets there that will be output when you play the Continuum. Of course, you can use the EMM’s Preset buttons to change presets or send it Bank/Program Change as well.

If you want to layer Continuum presets with EMM, simply load your desired Continuum preset and although it may play with less than Polyphony 8, the EMM will of course play along and you can mix the audio outputs of both to create your dual layering, or use a Midi split if you like as well.

Note the EMM in this case can be housed in a 26HP 4ms POD with power supply and a 4HP blank panel if you don’t want to use it in a Eurorack setup. In this case it will appear like a stand-alone MPE sound module. Of course all the CV functions are still available on the module should you want to use them.
