NOTE PRIORITY (NO/LOW/HIGH)
Only one note plays at any one time
Multiple notes (chords) can be played
All voices play in unison with every note
1=two oscillators per voice, 8 voice polyphony
2=four oscillators per voice, 4 voice polyphony
4=eight oscillators per voice, 2 voice polyphony
Selects how many voice cards are active
Initial voice volume before velocity and
aftertouch data is applied to the volume
How velocity affects the filter ADSR
Velocity affects entire filter envelope
Velocity affects only attack/decay portion
Sets key assigner mode, affects sustained notes
Round-robin key assignment with each note
CS-80 style Sus-II mode
Synthex style
–
notes retrigger same voice
How note transitions affect the ADSR
ADSR does not retrigger on connected notes
ADSR always retriggers with every note
Same as legato mode but portamento/gliss is
based on new note
’
s velocity if played in legato
How system handles legato in mono mode
Controls if ADSR retriggers on legato or not
Controls which note in a chord sounds in mono
