EDIT PROGRAM - SINGLE
The fields on the main EDIT SINGLE page are:
This shows the selected program name. Different programs may
be selected for editing by scrolling with the DATA control. You may
also select them using MIDI program change.
This field is not accessible but shows the number of keygroups
used in the selected program.
This field is also not accessible and shows the number of samples
used in the selected program. Please note that, because each
keygroup has four zones, it is possible for there to be more
samples in a program than there are keygroups. For example, a
stereo program with 5 keygroups would typically show 10 samples
(5 x L and R).
This allows you to set crossfades for keygroups that overlap. As
described above, this can be used to smooth out abrupt
transitions between keygroups. You will note that this is a 'global'
parameter that affects the whole program and so any keygroups
that overlap will be subject to crossfading.
This special function turns the program into a monophonic
program with single triggering. The effect of single triggering is that
if you hold one note and play another, the pitch changes to the
new note but the attack of the new note is not re-triggered. For
example:
Even when is ON, playing each note separately will
cause the attack of each note to be re-triggered.
This function is extremely useful for emulating the playing styles
and phrasing of solo instruments such as flutes, oboe, clarinet,
saxophone, etc.. It can also be effectively used on solo and
ensemble strings and brass. It is almost essential when playing
synth bass sounds as it emulates the classic monophonic synth
keyboard. You will find it useful too, when playing leadlines of any
kind. Owners of the Akai EWI wind synthesiser will find this function
invaluable in obtaining better expression and phrasing.
