Detailed Settings for Each Function
Parameter Value Explanation
Tone/Program
Remain
OFF, ON
Retaining the Current Tone Even When Tones Are Switched
(Tone/Program Remain)
This setting species whether the tone currently being sounded will continue (ON) or not (OFF) when
another tone is selected.
NOTE
• Eects (Reverb, Delay, EQ, Sympathetic Resonance) settings change as soon as you switch to a new Tone, without being
inuenced by the Tone/Program Remain setting. Because of this, certain eects settings can cause notes that were until
then sounding to no longer be heard, even though Tone/Program Remain has been set to ON.
• Even if Tone/Program Remain is set to ON, the sound of the current tone is not carried over when changing from a
Virtual Tone Wheel tone to a non-Virtual Tone Wheel tone.
• When you switch between tones of the V-Piano Technology sound generator (MD), the currently sounding tone does
not continue.
