Key Assign Modes
Key Assign (sometimes called note priority) determines what note has
priority when more than one note is played on the keyboard or via MIDI:
• Low-note priority (LO) is most common in vintage synths and is often
used for playing trills by holding a note and repeatedly tapping a lower
note.
• Low retrigger (LOr) causes the envelopes to be retriggered with each
keystroke.
• High note (Hi) and high retrigger (Hir) are similar to the low note
settings, except that the highest note is given priority.
• Last note (LAS) and last retrigger (LAr) give priority to the last note
played.
To choose the Key Assign mode:
1. Press and hold key mode in the misc parameters section. The numeric
display shows the currently selected mode.
2. To select a different mode, continue to hold down the key mode switch
then press the bank/decrement and tens/increment switches to step
through the other choices.
3. Release the key mode switch when you’re nished.
Key Assign settings are only relevant to Unison mode. They do not affect poly-
phonic playback.
