Press the CONFIG button to the left of the display and use the
PARAMETERS buttons to scroll through the pages until you
reach the one shown above. Using the VALUE 1 knob, change
Response to “Jump” if this is not already selected. Press the
Û
EXIT button to return to normal operation. Later on, you may
prefer one of the other options (Snap or Rel) to prevent glitches
during live performance.
Note that some knobs will have no audible effect because they
depend on other parameters e.g. the RATE of an LFO that isn’t
being used, or the DECAY of an envelope when SUSTAIN is at
maximum etc..
Creating New Sounds
The INIT Programs
The end of bank ROM-A has been reserved for a few simple
templates, which you can use whenever you want to create
sounds “from scratch”. For instance, the instructions in the next
chapter will often ask you to select one of those.
About Polyphony
The average number of voices the TI series (with its two DSPs)
can deliver is quoted at about 80, with a maximum of more than
100. However, to reach such giddy heights, the TI makes very
dynamic use of resources i.e. using certain features can lower
polyphony to well below these figures. For instance, doubling
the number of Unison voices e.g. from 3 to 6 will reduce
polyphony by half.
If you ever find you need to maximize polyphony (e.g. in Multi
mode), try minimizing your use of the following “prime sus-
pects” first: Unison mode, Reverb, Analog Filter models and
Oscillator 3.
