Keyboard Modes

The Keyboard mode controls how the voice will be triggered from the keyboard. Poly
Normal mode is the default mode which allows you to play chords.
The eight different solo modes provide the playing action of a monophonic
instrument—only one note can be played at a time. Monophonic wind, brass and string
instruments often sound more realistic with a single note playing. Synthesizer lead lines
also require solo mode. There are solo modes provided which can be used with
monophonic synthesizer sounds or to create other performance effects.
The Release modes only triggers a voice when the key is released. Many acoustic instru-
ments, such as a harpsichord, generate sounds when a key is released. To use this
feature, create a special "Release Voice" and turn one of these modes on for that voice.
Standard polyphonic mode. Any number of notes can be played.
Poly Normal
Last note priority. No key-up action. Retriggers envelopes and samples
Multiple Trigger
when a key is pressed.
Last note priority. No key-up action.
First solo note : Envelopes start at Attack segment from zero. Samples
start at the beginning.
Melody (last)
If previous note is releasing : Envelopes start at Attack segment, but
from current level. Samples start at the beginning.
When playing "Legato" : Envelopes continue from current segment
and level. Samples start at the loop or the beginning if unlooped.
Same as Melody (last), but with low-note priority. Newly played keys
Melody (low)
which are higher than the lowest solo key held will not sound.
Same as Melody (last), but with high-note priority. Newly played keys
Melody (high)
which are lower than the highest solo key held will not sound.
Similar to Melody (last) with key-up action. When currently sounding solo
Synth (last)
key is released while still holding other keys, the highest held solo key
sounds in a Legato fashion (envelopes not retriggered).
Same as Synth (last), but with low note priority. When the currently
Synth (low)
sounding solo key is released when other keys are still held, the lowest
held solo key will sound in a Legato fashion. (MiniMoog).
Same as Synth (last), but with high-note priority. When the currently
Synth (high)
sounding solo key is released when other keys are still held, the highest
held solo key will sound in a Legato fashion.
Same as Synth (last), except that Glide is disabled when playing Staccato,
Fingered Glide
enabled when playing Legato.

Latch Mode

When Latch mode is On, pressing a key once will latch the key on. Pressing the key
again will unlatch the key. This mode was originally designed for doing sound effects
work, but you can probably find many other uses for it, such as latching sampled
grooves. Any voices assigned to the same key as a latched voice will also latch.

Solo modes
sometimes require extra
Pre-roll

length
to perform properly. If
you are having problems
with the solo modes, try
increasing the Pre-roll.
Caution: Using Latch
Modes together with the
Solo Modes may cause
unpredictable results.
