PATCH PRESET [1] – [8]
The patch preset buttons [1] thru [8] allow you to store 8 of your favorite patches. For example instead of
recalling patch number 37 by pressing patch number [3] followed by [7], you can simply save this to one of the 8
1
patch preset buttons, and recall it later by selecting the same button. Additionally, the status of the DUAL
mode will also be saved so the patch preset button will recall a "patch preset" that is setup to play two patches
simultaneously.
Loading a Stored preset
Press one of the patch preset buttons [1] thru [8] to recall a favorite patch.
Saving the Current preset
Press-and-hold one of the patch preset buttons [1] thru [8] to save the current patch. Completion of the save
will be confirmed when the button flashes. Note that this will not save adjustments to the patches made while in
a preset. For example if you select patch preset [1], which consists of patch numbers 34 and 72 in Dual Mode,
and then change the filter or ADSR settings, these changes will not be included in the save. It saves the
combination of patches and the Dual Mode rather than the settings of each patch.

DUAL, UPPER/LOWER
The
has the ability to play two patches simultaneously by using the DUAL button to select Dual Mode. This
causes both an "upper" and "lower" patch to play back in parallel – one to the left stereo channel, and a second
to the right stereo channel.
In Dual Mode, pressing the UPPER/LOWER button will toggle between selection of upper and lower parts. If the
UPPER/LOWER button is lit while in Dual Mode, selecting a patch using the patch number buttons will place it
into the lower part. If the UPPER/LOWER button is unlit while in Dual Mode, selecting a patch using the patch
number buttons will place it into the upper part.
MANUAL
Pressing the MANUAL button will copy the physical settings of the buttons, knobs, sliders, and switches, to the
current patch. This allows the physical settings to be copied to the virtual memory so they are in sync and the
sound of the patch represents the physical settings of the buttons.
DUAL + [14]
Enters solo mode where playback is monophonic. Ie. Only a single note can sound at any given time.
DUAL + [15]
Enters unison mode where all sounds are played in unison. Ie. All 4 notes of polyphony are played with one key
press.
DUAL + [16]
Enters Polyphonic mode where up to 4 notes of polyphony can be played. Playing more than 4 notes results in
"note stealing", where each successive note above 4-note polyphony cuts off prior notes to maintain the 4-note
maximum.
DUAL + [4] thru [13]
Shifts the keyboard range in steps of one octave from button [4] (-4) thru button [13] (+5). The default of ±0 is
[8].
