Program Setup
Volume
[-Inf, -84.9…0.0 dB]
is controls the overall volume of the Program, for volume-balancing with other sounds.
Transpose
[-60…+60 semitones]
is transposes the Program by up to +/- ve octaves, in semitones.
Random Pitch Range
[0.0…50.0 cents]
is parameter creates random variations in pitch for each note. At the default of 0.0, pitch will be completely stable;
higher values create more randomization. is can be helpful for simulating instruments that have natural pitch
instabilities, such as analog synths, tape-loop keyboards, or acoustic instruments.
Trigger & Hold
Trigger On
[Key-On, Key-O]
Key-On: is is the default setting, in which the Program is played when a key is pressed.
Key-O: e Program will play as soon as you release the key. You can use this to create the “click” heard when a
harpsichord note is released, for instance. In general, when using Key-O it’s also best to set the Amp Envelope Sustain
to 0.
Hold
[O, On]
Hold is like permanently pressing down on the sustain pedal. Notes continue to play as if you were holding down the
key—even aer you li your ngers from the keyboard. If the sound is a looped Wave Sequence or a looped single
sample, it will play continuously until you select a dierent sound.
O: Notes will play normally. is is the default setting.
On: e sound will hold indenitely.
Important: is older Program-level Hold setting is largely superseded by Performance Hold. For details, see
“8: Perf. Hold (Performance Hold)” on page 4.
Voice Allocation
Mode = Poly
(Voice Assign) Mode
[Poly, Mono]
is selects the basic voice allocation mode. Depending on which one you select, various other options will appear,
such as Single Trig (Poly mode only) and Unison (Mono mode only).
Poly: e Program will play polyphonically, allowing you play chords.
Mono: e Program will play monophonically, producing only one note at a time.
Single Trigger
[O, On]
Single Trigger is available when Voice Assign Mode is set to Poly.
On: When you play the same note repeatedly, the previous note will be silenced before the next note is sounded, so that
the two do not overlap.
O: When you play the same note repeatedly, the notes will overlap.
