38 GL xx – Velocity sensitive trigger delay
xx – 0=off, 1-63 – xx multiples of (approx.) 300uS delay
When using patches that engage velocity sensitive parameters (P1 - 81-88), a small delay is introduced at the onset of note
on events. The delay is caused by the velocity calculations that are required to set up the VCF or envelope generators just
after velocity information is received at the MIDI in port. Global parameter 38 allows setting up a delay that holds off
recalculation of velocity for a specific length of time after a velocity calculation is made. This improves note onset reaction
by limiting the velocity calculation to the initial note received out of a consecutive group of notes or chord that is received
at the MIDI in port. In most cases, the default value of 30 (which causes a minimum delay of approximately 9 milliseconds)
is enough to ensure proper triggering of velocity. However, in some cases a longer delay may be appropriate. This might
be the case where more than eight note on events are sent as a chord even though the Poly 800 will only play the last
eight notes received (due to 8 note polyphony). Also, it may be useful to increase the delay if your MIDI equipment sends
note on events with a larger delay between each note event. In that case, the Poly-800 may recalculate velocity values mid
way through a chord or fast sequence of notes which could cause uneven spacing of the played notes. Thus, lengthening
the delay value (up to a maximum of 63 which corresponds to approximately 19mS) may help to avoid re-triggering
velocity calculations.

41 GL xx - Joystick MIDI TX channel number

xx - 0=no transmit, 1-16 MIDI joystick transmit channel number
Sets the joystick MIDI controller transmit channel. Can also be set to off so that no transmission of joystick movement
occurs.

42 GL xx - Local Joystick control off

xx - 0=off, 1=on original, 2=extended mode, 3=extended mode with patch change
Allows turning local control of VCF, DCO modulation and pitch bend off on the Poly-800. This allows the joystick to be used
to control other MIDI capable devices while not affecting the Poly-800 itself.
Mode zero completely disables local control of the joystick. The joystick will still send MIDI controller messages if global
parameter 41 is set (not zero) but in mode zero the joystick will not affect anything on the local Poly-800.
Mode one sets up the Poly-800 to control the Poly-800 in its original configuration which means it will control pitch (X axis)
and DCO/VCF modulation (Y axis).
Mode two disables pitch bend and modulation but enables editing of parameters when in original, extended or global
parameter editing modes.
Mode three is the same as mode two except that you can also use the X axis to change patches up or down while in patch
selection mode (and while not in parameter editing mode).
In mode two and three, the rate of change of the parameters can be increased or decreased according to how much you
push the joystick up, down, left or right. The more you deflect the joystick, the faster the parameters or parameter values
will change. This allows very fast access to the desired parameter and changing of the parameter value itself.
43 GL xx – Extended Sequencer Mode Beats per Bar
xx – 1=original sequencer operation, 2-64=extended sequencer operation with 2-64 beats per bar.
Setting this parameter to 1 engages the original sequencer behavior which uses just one sequence. Setting this parameter
anywhere in the range 2 to 64 switches the sequencer into advanced mode. This parameter should be set to the number
of quarter notes per bar for the sequences that you are editing. For additional details, see the section "Sequencer
Advanced Mode".
