ffiB
The DW-6000 has six separately ar-
ticulated "voices" or "synthesizer
modules." Different effects can be
achieved by
changing the
way
these are
assigned
to
notes played
on the
keyboard.
The
KEY ASSIGN section gives
you a
choice of three
ways of assigning voices
to notes.
The KEY
ASSIGN section
controls which synth module is
used to generate
the sound of which
note,
^ynth module 1
When these notes
are played
on the
keyboard..
Select
from among the
six modules.
Four of these
modules will be used.
POLY 1
Mode
This mode
is used
for
normal
polyphonic playing. The
DW-6000's six voices
are assigned sequentially as notes
are
played.
If
you play more than six notes, then the most
recent notes will cancel
out the earliest notes still sound-
ing.
In this mode,
sounds using long
release times wi!l
create
an effect
of "overlapping"
notes, which will create a
spacious sound.

'P0LY2
Mode
This is
most useful
for
certain
instrumental
sounds, and
for
sounds using polyphonic portamento
effects.
If
a one
note passage is being played, one
synth
voice (out of six)
is used continuously,
if
two notes are played,
two voices
are used continuously,
and so forth.

When one note
is played then the first module is
always used.

When

are always used.
•UNISON
Mode
This mode assigns all six
voices
to each
key depression,
following
a
"last note played" priority system, for mono-
phonic soloing capabilities.
Because
all
six voices
are
automatically
detuned when this mode is
selected,
this
produces a very
fat, rich
sound.

When
you write a sound program to memory, the
selected
key assign mode is stored along with your other
parame-
ter
values.
When
you
select
that program
number, the
stored key assign
mode will be automatically selected.
You
can, of course, temporarily change the Key Assign
mode at any time while playing. But that alone
does not
change
the stored Key Assign mode. Therefore, if
you
change
key assign
mode, then change to a different pro-
gram number, then
change
back
to the previous program
number,
you will get the stored key assign mode, not
your
latest
key
assign mode choice.
