When the Key Mode parameter is set to Poly and the Voice Mode
parameter is set to Single or Dual, the EDIT/MISC/SETTING page Assign
Mode parameter can now be set to Last Note producing last-note key priority for
these modes. The Assign Mode parameter will not appear when the Unison key mode
is selected.
In order to use the Poly Expand parameter described below, the Key
Mode parameter must be set to Poly and the Assign Mode parameter to Last
Note.

Poly Expand
¯ off, 2…32 > 1 … 32
This new parameter allows 2 or more VL units to be MIDI-chained for increased
polyphony. The number to the left of the > symbol should be set to the total polyphony
to be provided by the system (off, 2 … 32). The number to the right of the >
symbol sets the number of the note to be sounded by the controlling VL (1 … 32). If
this parameter is set to 3, for example, the 3rd note played in a chord will be sounded
by the controlling VL.
In the VL1 Ver.2 and VL1-m Ver.2 the Poly Expand parameter is only
available when the Key Mode parameter is set to Poly and the Assign Mode
parameter is set to Last Note. When the Poly key mode is not selected Key
mode is not POLY will appear in place of the Poly Expand parameter
setting, and when the Last Note assign mode is not selected Asgn mode is
not LAST will appear.
The Poly Expand parameter is always available on the VL7 Ver.2.
