polyphony is limited by the number of voices assigned to the edited part! Finally,
2x unison
works like
the polyphony mode except that every time you play a note, it is played by 2 voices – this effectively
divides the polyphony by two.
lega (legato)
: Legato mode on/off. This setting has an effect only in
mono
mode. This option
specifies how the part will interpret overlapping notes. When
legato
is off, the envelope retriggers
everytime a new note is played, and the portamento is always applied. When
legato
is on, the
envelope retriggers only when the new note does not overlap with the previous one, and the
portamento triggers only on overlapping notes.
port (portamento)
: Portamento time. This setting has an effect only in
mono
mode.
octv (octave)
: Octave shift. Use this to transpose a part by a given number of octaves. Note that if a
note is playing when while this setting is changed, it won’t be affected.
tune
: Part tuning. Changes the tuning of the part by +/- 1 semitones.
sprd (spread)
: Voice detune. Use this setting to introduce an artificial detuning between all the voices
allocated to this part. This can be used to create very thick leads or basses in
mono
mode, or to add
more depth to strings/pads sounds in
mode.
raga
: Scale/keyboard mapping.
The different scales/keyboard mappings are:
Name
Description
equal
Equal temperament
just
Just intonation (frequency ratios to C are rational numbers)
pythagorean
Pythagorean scale
1/4 eb
E and B are 1/4 tone lower
1/4 e
E is 1/4 tone lower
1/4 ea
E and A are 1/4 tone lower
bhairav
...
rasia
A bunch of ragas of the
Maihar gharana
. Note that it is not possible to play notes
outside of the raga – if you attempt to do so, the previously played note will be
retriggered. The suggested mode of operation is to find out which keys are active in
the raga, and improvise with them!
