Multi
A program in which multiple Voices are assigned to Parts for multi-timbral play in the Multi modes is
referred to as a "Multi." Each Multi can contain up to 16 Parts.
Memory structure of Multi
128 Multi programs are provided in the User Bank.
Maximum Polyphony
Maximum polyphony refers to the highest number of notes that can be sounded simultaneously from the
internal tone generator of the instrument.
The maximum polyphony of this synthesizer is 128. When the internal tone generator block receives a
number of notes exceeding the maximum polyphony, previously played notes are cut off. Keep in mind
this may be especially noticeable with Voices not having decay.
Furthermore, the maximum polyphony applies to the number of Voice Elements used, not the number of
Voices. When Normal Voices that include up to eight Elements are used, the maximum number of
simultaneous notes may be less than 128.

This block handles the audio signal input from the MIC INPUT jack. Audio Signals from the MIC INPUT jack can be

Arpeggio Block

This function lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases using the current Voice by simply pressing a
note or notes on the keyboard. The Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords you
play, giving you a wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas—both in composing and performing. Four
Arpeggio types can be played back at the same time even in the Song mode and Pattern mode.
