Program Edit
notes are not re-triggered; the envelopes will continue to evolve as if the original
note was still held down. This is good for imitating the phrasings of wind
instruments, or analog lead synthesizers, and is generally the preferred mode for
MIDI wind controllers. Mono Legato mode must be specifically supported in the
Patch.
Mono Retrig. Only one note will play at a time. Unlike Mono Legato, each key-
press starts a new note and re-triggers envelopes.
Unison. Unison mode plays only one note at a time, but uses two or more stacked,
detuned voices to create a thick sound. Use the Unison Voices and Unison Detune
parameters to set the number of voices and amount of detuning.
Key Priority
Last Key, Highest Key, Lowest Key. When a Patch's Voice Allocation parameter is
set to Mono Legato. Mono Retrig, or Unison, the Patch will play only one note at a
time. The Key Priority parameter determines what happens when more than one
note is being held down.
When Polyphonic, Poly Physical, or Poly Retrig modes are selected, this parameter
does not apply.
Last Key. The most recently played note will sound. This is the default.
Highest Key. The highest note will sound.
Lowest Key. The lowest note will sound. Many vintage, monophonic analog
synths work this way.
Unison Detune
0 to 100. This parameter only applies when Voice Allocation is set to Unison. It
sets the tuning spread, in cents (1/100 of a semitone), for the Unison voices. The
Patch's voices are distributed evenly across the detune amount, centered around
the basic pitch.
For instance, let's say that the Patch's Voices parameter is set to 3, and Unison
Detune is set to 24:
Voice one will be detuned down by 12 cents, voice two will not be detuned, and
voice three will be detuned up by 12 cents.
