POLY/MONO
This determines whether the voice in each Layer is played
monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically (up to
32 notes at a time).
Generally, Polyphonic mode is selected to generate multiple
sounds at one time. There are cases, however, where it is more
effective to select Monophonic mode, such as when using a
bass sound, brass sound, or an analog synthesizer sound.

NOTE
You can play up to 32 notes at a time. However, the
number of notes may be reduced or truncated if you use voices which
consist of two elements and/or play a rather complicated song which
uses too many notes.

Tips About Performance Mode
• In Performance Mode, you can use a Performance (voice)
and 12 Parts (Part 5~16) for Multi. Though the receive
channels are set in the factory as shown in the illustration,
you can change the receive channels using RCV CH (Receive
Channel) in Utility Mode.

• If a channel is selected for both Performance and one of
the Parts, the two will be played simultaneously, producing
two sounds at one time. Check the settings for the receive
channels when you play the Performance and get an
unintentional sound besides the Performance.
• In Performance Mode, you cannot modify the Multi settings
on the panel except for the receive channel setting. Use an
external MIDI device such as sequencer to modify the Multi
settings.
• You can play only one Performance at one time. It is not
possible to use the Performances as Parts for the Multi or to
configure the Layers using the Performances.
