Press a DIGITAL PART Select
You can select multiple parts by pressing multiple buttons simultaneously.
You can't select analog parts and digital parts simultaneously.
Each digital part consists of three partials.
While editing, you can switch parts or change the selection to multiple parts.

Explanation
Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON) or not (OFF).
When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the pitch will change. Higher values
lengthen the time over which the pitch will change to the next note.
Portamento will always be applied.
Portamento will be applied only when you play legato (i.e., when you press the next key before
releasing the previous key).
If this is turned on, portamento will operate in semitone steps.
Turns ring modulator on/off.
By multiplying partial 1's OSC and partial 2's OSC, this creates a complex, metallic-sounding
waveform like that of a bell.
The partial 1's OSC waveform will change as shown in the illustration, and partial 2's OSC will be
output with its original waveform.
Setting the partial 1 OSC and the partial 2 OSC to different pitches will make the ring modulator
effect more apparent.

If Ring Switch is turned "ON," the PWM Depth, PW, and S-Saw Detune of partial 1 and partial 2
cannot be used.
In addition, if an asymmetrical square wave is selected as the OSC waveform, the OSC variation
will be ignored, and there will be a slight difference in sound compared to the originally selected
waveform.
Specifies whether notes will sound polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically (MONO).
This is valid only if the Mono/Poly parameter is set to
"ON,"
If this is pressing a key while the previous key remains held down will cause the pitch to
change to that of the newly pressed key while maintaining the state in which the previous note
was being sounded. This creates a smooth transition between notes, which is effective when you
wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.
This layers a single sound.
If the Unison Switch is "ON," the number of notes layered on one key will change according to the
number of keys you play.

1 8
2 4 each
3–4 2 each
5–8 1 each
Partial 1 will be modulated by the pitch of partial 2. Higher values produce a greater effect.
This has no effect if the partial 1 waveform is PW-SQR or SP-SAW.
