PAGE 1 - BASIC
Here you can make basic settings for the Program, such
as basic oscillator settings, the oscillator count, and the
polyphonic mode.
Oscillators
Use this parameter to specify the basic Program type;
whether it will use one or more oscillators (up to four).
Drum Programs use only one oscillator.
1...4 Number of oscillators the Program will
use. The total amount of polyphony varies
depending on the number of oscillators
used by the Program (a maximum of 62
with only 1 oscillator, or a maximum of 15
with 4 oscillators).
Mode
This is the polyphonic mode of the Program.
Poly The Program will play polyphonically,
allowing you play chords.
Mono The Program will play monophonically,
producing only one note at a time.
Single Trigger
This parameter is available when the "Mode" parame‐
ter is set to Poly.
Yes When the same note is played repeatedly,
the previous note will be silenced before
the next note is sounded, so that the notes
do not overlap.
No When the same note is played repeatedly,
the previous note will not be silenced
before the next note is sounded.
Legato
This parameter is available when the "Mode" parame‐
ter is set to Mono.
Yes Legato is on. When multiple note‐on's
occur, the first note‐on will retrigger the
sound, and the second and subsequent
note‐on's will not retrigger.
When legato is on, multiple note‐on's will
not retrigger the voice. If one note is
already on and another note is turned on,
the first voice will continue sounding. The
oscillator sound, envelope, and LFO will
not be reset, and only the pitch of the
oscillator will be updated. This setting is
effective for wind instrument sounds and
analog synth‐type sounds.
No Legato is off. Notes will always be retrig‐
gered when note‐on occurs.
When legato is off, multiple note‐on's will
retrigger the voice at each note‐on. The
Program operating mode
oscillator sound, envelope, and LFO will
be reset (and retriggered) according to the
settings of the Program.
Note: If "Legato" is On, certain multisamples or keyboard
locations may produce an incorrect pitch.
Priority
This parameter is available when the "Mode" parame‐
ter is set to Mono. It specifies which note will be given
priority to play when two or more notes are played
simultaneously.
Low Lowest note will take priority.
High Highest note will take priority.
Last Last note will take priority.
PAGE 2 - SAMPLE (SOUND PROGRAMS)
The multisample(s) (waveform) on which the Program
will be based can be selected here for each of the four
oscillators. Each oscillator can use 1 or 2 multisamples,
each one assigned to the High or Low layer.
The internal Flash‐ROM contains 340 different multi‐
samples (preset multisamples).
Selected
Use this parameter to select an oscillator to put in edit.
Alternatively, you can select oscillators using the F‐1–F‐
4 buttons.
MS Hi/Lo Bank/Num
Use these parameters to select a different multisample
for each of the High and Low layers. You can use veloc‐
ity to switch between the two multisamples. Reverse,
Offset and Level can be adjusted independently for the
High and Low multisamples.
The first line shows the bank (ROM), while the second
line is for selecting the multisample. The Program
number appears at the end of the second line.
The multisample you select for the High layer will be
triggered by velocities higher than the value of the
"Velocity Switch" parameter (see page 108). If you do
not wish to use velocity switching, set the switch to a
value of 001, and select only the High multisample.
Note: Each multisample has an upper limit, and may not
produce sound when played above that limit.
[H/L] Reverse
The multisample will be played in reverse. In the case
of Flash‐ROM multisamples that were originally speci‐
fied to loop, the multisample will be played back in
"one‐shot" reverse mode. If the multisample was origi‐
nally set to reverse, it will playback without change.
Yes The multisample will playback in reverse.
No The multisample will play back normally.
