Zones

The Zones parameter group in Single mode

The first thing to notice are the Zone numbers in the left-most column (1-6), indicating
which Zone will be edited by the parameters to the right. The per-voice Zone
assignments themselves are handled in the Voices parameter group over to the left.

Here’s what’s possible with the Zone parameter group:
Input Ch.: Assign the Zone to MIDI Channel 1-16 or Omni.
Mode: Determines how voices will be triggered. The first three modes are polyphonic
(Rotate, Reassign, Reset), and the last three are monophonic (Uni-Low, Uni-High, Uni-
Last).

Click the field and a window will open with the choices. A check mark indicates
the current mode:

Note assignment modes

Below is a description of how each mode behaves:
Rotate: Each new note will play the voices assigned to that Zone one after the other,
and then they’ll loop (1-2-3, 1-2-3, etc.).
