From here, you can hit

22.10 setting which voice a monophonic sound uses:

When you set up a sound to be monophonic (by pressing the POLY / MONO button), the
synthesizer defaults to using V1 (voice 1) as the monophonic voice. That may not be what
you want, some sounds (particularly FM sounds) benefit from using a single voice that
sounds best. Experiment in the KBD MODE menu that comes up, by using soft knob 4 to
designate which voice works for you (V1 – V16, or voice 1 through voice 16, are the options).

22.11 voice stealing:

Voice stealing can be controlled by the Global menu (in the KYBD section, using soft knob 8).
With Voice Stealing on, if you run out of notes, and press a note, one of the notes is cut off.
With Voice Stealing off, the new note will not trigger. Set the value based on your playing
preferences.

22.12 patch remain:

When you are playing a chord on a sound, and then switch a patch, the sound of the patch
will still be playing.
This is a neat feature called " patch remain" . It' s something to be explored in certain types of
concerts.

22.13 notes on external cards for patch storage:

1. The card is SRAM TYPE 1 ONLY.
2. There is a size limit of 2MB. Higher sized cards can be inserted in, but no more than 2MB
of space will be used. No less than 256K can be used, either.
3. Compact Flash cards with an adapter WILL NOT WORK.
