Parameter
Value Explanation
Mono/Poly
MONO, POLY
MONO:
Only the last-played note will sound. This setting is effective when playing a solo instru-
ment patch such as sax or flute.
POLY:
Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
Legato Switch OFF, ON
ON:
Pressing a key while continuing to press a previous key causes the note to change pitch to
the pitch of the most recently pressed key, sounding all the while. This is effective when you wish
to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.
* Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to “MONO.”
Legato Retrigger
OFF, ON
OFF:
When one key is held down and another key is then pressed, only the pitch changes, with-
out the attack of the latter key being played. Set this to “OFF” when performing wind and string
phrases or when using modulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.
ON:
Normally you will leave this parameter “ON.”
* Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono/Poly is set to “MONO” and the Legato Switch is set to “ON.”
