Program Setup

Volume
[-Inf, -84.9...0.0 dB]
This controls the overall volume of the Program, for volume-balancing with other sounds.
Transpose
[-60...+60 semitones]
This transposes the Program by up to +/- five octaves, in semitones.
Random Pitch Range
[0.0...50.0 cents]
This parameter creates random variations in pitch for each note. At the default of 0.0, pitch will be completely stable;
higher values create more randomization. This can be helpful for simulating instruments that have natural pitch
instabilities, such as analog synths, tape-loop keyboards, or acoustic instruments.
Trigger & Hold
Trigger On
[Key-On, Key-Off]
Key-On: This is the default setting, in which the Program is played when a key is pressed.
Key-Off: The Program will play as soon as you release the key. You can use this to create the "click" heard when a
harpsichord note is released, for instance. In general, when using Key-Off it's also best to set the Amp Envelope Sustain
to 0.
Hold
[Off, On]
Hold is like permanently pressing down on the sustain pedal. Notes continue to play as if you were holding down the
key—even after you lift your fingers from the keyboard. If the sound is a looped Wave Sequence or a looped single
sample, it will play continuously until you select a different sound.
Off: Notes will play normally. This is the default setting.
On: The sound will hold indefinitely.
Important: This older Program-level Hold setting is largely superseded by Performance Hold. For details, see
"8: Perf. Hold (Performance Hold)" on page 4.

Voice Allocation

Mode = Poly
(Voice Assign) Mode
[Poly, Mono]
This selects the basic voice allocation mode. Depending on which one you select, various other options will appear,
such as Single Trig (Poly mode only) and Unison (Mono mode only).
Poly: The Program will play polyphonically, allowing you play chords.
Mono: The Program will play monophonically, producing only one note at a time.
Single Trigger
[Off, On]
Single Trigger is available when Voice Assign Mode is set to Poly.
On: When you play the same note repeatedly, the previous note will be silenced before the next note is sounded, so that
the two do not overlap.
Off: When you play the same note repeatedly, the notes will overlap.
