• MONO (MONO Mode)
In this mode, one channel per string is used, thus using a total
of six channels.
Since each string uses a different MIDI channel, you can select
a different tone for each string, using string bending or
continuously varying the pitch on a specific string; however,
this requires use of a multitimbral sound module.
• POLY (POLY Mode)
In this mode, the messages for all six strings are transmitted
over a single channel.
While transmitting the MIDI messages for all of the strings
over one channel does simplify the settings needed for the
sound module and reduces the number of MIDI channels
used, it does impose certain limitations; for example,
permitting only one tone to be selected for all of the strings.
•
All patches are set to MONO mode at the factory.
•
When chords are played in POLY mode, pitch bends
change in semitone increments, while vibrato cannot be
used. Pitch bends work normally in POLY Mode when
playing single notes.
