Module: ANALOG PROCESSING 20 Function: CHORUS
This function provides a thicker, richer sound by doubling the primary Voice and slightly detuning
this double sound.
1. Activate ANALOG PROCESSING 20. The display will say:
...where off is the default position. Use the ON and OFF buttons to choose chorus status.
2. After making your selections, press ENTER to return to the Module Identifier.
Note: Chorusing uses both halves of one channel, as in Dual Mode (PRESET DEFINITION 4).
Therefore, you can still play eight-note polyphony while in Chorus mode. Chorus does not use
up two channels unless you double Voices.
Module: ANALOG PROCESSING 21 Function: KEYBOARD MODE
(SOLO, NONTRANSPOSE)
Solo mode provides the playing action of a monophonic synthesizer with single triggering and
last-note priority. With single triggering, you must lift your finger off a key to initiate a new
envelope.
Non transpose lets a Voice play throughout Its assigned keyboard range but at its original pitch
only - - there will be no transposition.
Solo application: Produce more realistic effects when working with monophonic instrument sounds (i.e.
solo trumpet, flute, sax, etc.) since this mode does not allow you to play a chord. Simulate the keying
action of monophonic synthesizers.
Non-transpose application: Determine the original note at which a Voice was recorded. Or, if you’re
playing drum parts on the keyboard, you might want to assign the bass drum to the entire left-most octave
of the keyboard so that it makes an easy target compared to hitting one key. In this case, put the bass
drum into Non-transpose mode so that no matter where you hit, the sound is consistent. Or, if you have
an environmental ocean sound layered beyond a melodic line, but don’t want the ocean to transpose as
you play the melody, Non-transpose the ocean sound.
One more application... assign a non-transposed sound and play several keys at almost the same time;
you’ll hear some pretty neat phasing/flanging effects.
1. Activate ANALOG PROCESSING 21. The display will say:
...where “off” is the default setting for both options.
