POLY/MONO
This determines whether the voice in each Layer is played
monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically
(up to a maximum 64 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
lead sound.
Settings:
Mono/Poly: mono, poly
n
You can play up to 64 notes at a time. However, the number of
notes may be reduced or truncated if you use voices which consist
of two Layers and/or play a rather complicated song which uses too
many notes.
Multi Play In Performance Mode
• In Performance mode you can use the Performance as one
instrument Part plus 12 additional Parts for multitimbral play
using an external MIDI sequencer. The Layer (using between
1 and 4 voices) makes up Part 1 and the additional 12 Parts
available correspond to Parts 5 ~ 16.
Though the receive channels are set at the factory as shown in
the following diagram, you can change the receive channels
using the Utility mode's MIDI RCV CH (Receive Channel)
parameter.

• If a channel is selected for both the Performance and one of
the Multi Parts, the two will be played simultaneously,
producing two sounds at once. Check the settings for the
receive channels when you play the Performance and get an
extra unintentional sound besides the Performance Layer.
• 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 a time. It is not
possible to use the Performances as Parts for the Multi or to
configure the Layers using the Performances.
