IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MONO LEGATO ON/OFF
Because this function is playing a single sample (or group of samples when playing stereo or
layered sounds) through the sustain or loop, if you were, for example, to do a long legato run
from the top of the keyboard to the bottom, you would be transposing the original sample you
started with several octaves down. For example, in a 7 keygroup flute program, if you were to
start your run on C5 and finish at C2, the sound played on the last note would, in fact, be the
C5 sample transposed 3 octaves down - the samples in the other keygroups would not be re-
triggered as you cross the keygroup boundaries. As a result, if you sustained that last note, it
may sound very strange indeed! Similarly, if you ‘trilled’ between C2 and C5, it would also
sound quite odd (but then, so would a trill between C2 and C5!). This is brought to your
attention so that you may make allowances when playing legato across keygroups. If you bear
this in mind, you will find this function very useful and expressive.
There is a way around this using the KEYGROUP MUTE function (see below).
This field is not accessible and shows you how many other programs
are in memory at the time.
This field allows you to select whether you wish to listen to other
programs that have the same program number as you edit the
currently selected program. The selection is ON or OFF. When
is switched to ON, you will only hear the currently
selected program and when it is OFF, you will be able to monitor any
other programs that share the same number.
NOTE: This function is only really of relevance of you are using the ‘old Akai’ method to
sequence programs sharing the same program number.
