Transpose
The up and down buttons in the transpose section transpose the keyboard
up or down in octaves. The LED indicates the current keyboard trans-
position state. Transposing the keyboard also changes the MIDI note
numbers of the keys so that MIDI notes sent are also transposed. Trans-
pose settings are global and are not saved with individual programs.
The Transpose controls
Hold
When hold is on, any notes played will continue to play until hold is
turned off. When used in conjunction with the arpeggiator, notes are
latched on. If hold is on and at least one key continuously held down,
any new notes played are added to the arpeggio.
The Hold button
Glide
Glide causes the pitch of a note to glide up or down from the pitch of the
previously played note. Glide is turned on and off using the glide switch,
but the rate must also be set. If the glide button is on, but rate is set to
0, glide has no effect.
Glide can be set individually for each oscillator and, if
sample stretch
(see “Using Sample Stretch” on page 101) is enabled, instruments 1
and/or 2. If sample stretch is not enabled for a sampled instrument,
Glide can’t be used with that instrument.
