When
adjacent instruments
are receiving the
same
MIDI channel, they can
be
set to Alternate Assign. Press
ENTER +
ON
and
a
short
arrow
"<- "
will
appear
to
the
left
of
the channel number,
indicating that the instrument
is in
Alternate
Assign mode.
In
this
mode,
each incoming
note
will
rotate
between
the
alternately
assigned
instruments.
If
three instruments playing
Strings,
Brass
and
Piano
were
set to Alternate Assign,
a
three-note chord
would
include
one
note of
each
voice.
(However, by switching each instrument
in
and
out of
Altermate Assign
mode
in
random
order,
it is
possible
to
confuse the
assignment
scheme
so
that a
three-note chord
may
be sounded
as
2,
1,0
instead of
1,
1, 1.)

display.
When
you
play
more
simultaneous notes than an instrument can produce,
the
oldest note
will
stop sounding
in
order
to
"make room"
for the
new
note.
When
EG
Forced
Damp
is
off,
the
envelope
of the
new
note
will
be
a continua-
tion of the note
that
has stopped
sounding.
When
EG
Forced
Damp
is
on,
the
envelope
of the old note
will
quickly
drop
to
0,
and
the
new
note
will
start
its
envelope
from
the beginning.
