mode. UNISON
UNISONUNISON
UNISON Is a polyphonic mode, meaning more than one note can be played at a time. The idea
behind UNISON
UNISONUNISON
UNISON is to make the fattest sound possible. The UNISON
UNISONUNISON
UNISON mode works like SOLO

UNISONUNISON
UNISON for the first note played, then things start getting strange. If two or more notes are being
played, the voices divide between the notes played. Since the number of different voices available
depends on if the board is in WHOLE
WHOLEWHOLE
WHOLE or SPLIT
SPLITSPLIT
SPLIT mode, the number of voices per note depends on the
KEY MODE
KEY MODEKEY MODE
KEY MODE as well. It is confusing, so here is a table to make it easier to understand:
WHOLE

SPLIT 2
1 Key – All 6 voices 1 Key - 4 Voices 1 Key - 2 Voices
2 Keys - 3 Voices each 2 Keys - 2 Voices each 2 Keys - 1 Voice each
3 Keys - 2 Voices each 3-4 Keys- 1 Voice each
4-6 Keys- 1 Voice each
If more keys are held down than there are voices available, then only the first voices will play. For
example, in WHOLE
WHOLEWHOLE
WHOLE mode, only the first six notes will be played. The seventh note will play when one
of the first six notes is released. When the seventh note sounds, it will not retrigger the envelope. This is
useful for subtle changes to the color of a chord. As with SOLO UNISON

STEAL
STEALSTEAL
STEAL mode. It is just like UNISON
UNISONUNISON
UNISON mode, until more notes than there are available voices are played.
Then, the oldest note playing has its voice stolen to play the new note. For instance, in WHOLE
WHOLEWHOLE
WHOLE mode,
when the seventh note is played, it plays, but the first note goes silent. The second note goes silent to play
the eighth note, and so on. Each new note retriggers the envelope with a new ATTACK
ATTACKATTACK
ATTACK. Now, if a note is
released while the first and second notes are still held, the second note will sound. Release another key
and the first note will sound. The notes that have their voice stolen and get replayed will not retrigger the
envelopes. The STEAL
STEALSTEAL
STEAL modes are great for playing chords. If voice watch is enabled, a winking LED will
indicate the stolen voice(s).

POLY 1 Mode
is another polyphonic mode, and is designed to preserve a note's RELEASE
RELEASERELEASE
RELEASE as long as possible. Here is
an example of how it works: If A B C D E F are played in WHOLE
WHOLEWHOLE
WHOLE mode, releasing the keys in reverse
order (F E D C B A) will cause the next allocated voice to be F. That is because it has been released the
longest, so it has the best chance of having completed the RELEASE
RELEASERELEASE
RELEASE cycle of its envelopes. As with
UNISON
UNISONUNISON
UNISON mode, when too many notes are played, the later notes will not sound, at least until one or
more of the other notes playing are released.

this just means that the RELEASE
