(1) EG forced damp
Function
This determines how notes beyond the maximum
polyphony will be handled.
Setting
veryslow, slow, medium, fast
Explanation
When an instrument in performance play mode re-
ceives more notes than allowed by its maximum notes
setting, or when more than 16 notes are received in
single play mode, this setting determines how the
overflowing notes will be handled.
For example, in single play mode when the 17th
note is received, the oldest note will be turned off.
This EG forced damp determines how quickly the
oldest note will be turned off.

A setting of "fast" takes the shortest time to turn off
the oldest note, and a setting of "veryslow" takes the
longest time.
As you can see from the diagram, EG forced damp
reduces the click noise produced when a note is turned
off instantly. The longer the setting, the less noise there
will be. However sounds with a quick attack (piano,
organ, etc.) will sound rather unnatural with a long
forced damp setting, since the notes will begin per-
ceptably later than they should. In such cases, set
EG forced damp to "fast".
(2) Voice damp (2) Voice damp
Function
Determine if notes will continue to sound through a
voice change when in single mode.
Settings
off, on
Explanation
When "on" is selected, notes sounding when a voice
is selected will be turned off. When "off' is selected,
notes will continue to sound, and the newly selected
voice will be used for the next note. However, LFO
data will change at the instant the voice is selected.
