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 depend-
ing on the number of oscillators used by the
Program (a maximum of 62 with only 1 oscil-
lator, or a maximum of 15 with 4 oscillators).
Mode
This is the polyphonic mode of the Program.
Poly The Program will play polyphonically, allow-
ing you play chords.
Mono The Program will play monophonically, pro-
ducing only one note at a time.
Single Trigger
This parameter is available when the "Mode" parameter 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 over-
lap.
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" parameter 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.
