1–1: Program Basic
1–1a
1–1b
This page contains all of the basic settings for the Program.
Among other things, you can:
• Set up the Program to be a Single, a Double, a Drum Kit,
or a Double Drum Kit.
• Set the Program to play polyphonically or
monophonically.
1–1a: Oscillator Mode
Oscillator Mode
[Single, Double, Drums, Double Drums]
Specifies the Program's oscillator assignment; whether it
will use one or two oscillators, or a drum kit.
Single: The program will use one oscillator (Oscillator 1,
Filter 1, Amplifier 1). In this case, the program will normally
have a maximum of 120-note polyphony.
Double: The program will use two oscillators (Oscillator 1/
2, Filter 1/2, Amplifier 1/2). In this case the program will
normally have a maximum of 60-note polyphony.
Drums: The program will use one oscillator (as when Single
is selected), but Oscillator 1 will be assigned a drum kit
instead of a multisample. In this case the program will
normally have a maximum of 120-note polyphony.
Double Drums: The Program will use two oscillators to play
two Drum Kits. In this case the Program will normally have
a maximum of 60‐note polyphony.
OSC Picture 1, 2
Here you can specify a graphic for oscillators 1 and 2 that
will be shown in the main P0 Play page.
To open the menu, press the popup button or press the
preview area twice in succession.
To choose the graphic, press the graphic view at the bottom
of the menu or the left or right graphics in the upper part. To
confirm your selection, press the OK button or press the
upper middle graphic twice in succession.

OSC Picture 2 is unavailable if the Oscillator Mode is Single
or Drums.

1–1b: Voice Assign Mode
Menu
Voice Assign Mode
Select the basic voice allocation mode. Depending on which
one you select, various other options will appear, such as
Poly Legato (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.
Poly Legato
Poly Legato is available when the Voice Assign Mode is set
to Poly.
Legato means to play note so that they are smooth and
connected; the next note is played before the last note is
released. This is the opposite of playing detached.
On (checked): When you play a legato phrase, only the first
note of that phrase (and within approximately the first
30msec) will use the normal multisample start point
specified by Start Offset (Prog 2–1a); all subsequent notes
will use the legato start point specified for each
multisample.
Note: This is a useful way to simulate the percussive attack
of a tonewheel‐type organ.
Off (unchecked): Notes will always use the setting of the
Start Offset, regardless of whether you play legato or
detached.
Single Trigger
Single Trigger is available when the Voice Assign Mode is
set to Poly.
On (checked): 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.
[MS Names...]
Off (unchecked): When you play the same note repeatedly,
the notes will overlap.
Mono Legato
This is available when the Voice Assign Mode is set to
Mono.
Legato means to play notes so that they are smooth and
connected; the next note is played before the last note is
released. This is the opposite of playing detached.
When Mono Legato is On, the first note in a legato phrase
will sound normally, and then subsequent notes will have a
smoother sound, for more gentle transitions between the
notes.
The Mode parameter, below, switches between two different
Mono Legato effects, each of which achieves this
smoothness in a different way. See the description of that
parameter for more details.
On (checked): When you play with legato phrasing, the
notes within a legato phrase will sound smoother, according
to the setting of the Mode parameter, below.
Off (unchecked): Legato phrasing will produce the same
sound as detached playing.
With some Multisamples, Poly Legato may not have
any effect.
