WiththeMNorLGTsettings,theProgram’ssettingwill
determinethepriorityofthenotethatsoundswhenyou
playtwoormorenotes.
OSC Select [BTH, OSC1, OSC2]
Thisparameterspecifieswhetherthetimbre’sprogramwill
playOSC1,OSC2,orboth.
Forprogramswhose“OscillatorMode”isDouble,thisset‐
tingletsyouspecifythatonlyOSC1orOSC2willsound.
BTH(Both):OSC1and2willsoundasspecifiedbytheset‐
tingsoftheprogram.
OS1:OnlyOSC1willsound.
OS

OscillatorModeissettoSingleorDrums.
Portamento [PRG, Off, 001...127]
Thisparameterallowsyoutoselectportamentosettingsfor
eachtimbre.
PRG:Portamentowillbeappliedasspecifiedbythepro‐
gramsettings.

Pitch
Transpose [–60...+00...+60]
Thisparameteradjuststhepitchofeachtimbreinsemitone
steps.12unitsequaloneoctave.

Detune [–1200...+0000...+1200]
Thisparameteradjuststhepitchofeachtimbreinone‐centunits.
