Key Modes and Unison Mode
Key Mode (sometimes called note priority) determines what note has
priority when more than one note is played on the keyboard or via MIDI.
• Low-Note Priority is most common in vintage synths and is often used
for playing trills by holding a note and repeatedly tapping a lower note.
• Low Retrigger causes the envelopes to be retriggered with each
keystroke.
• High Note and High Retrigger are similar to the low note settings,
except that the highest note is given priority.
• Last Note and Last Retrigger give priority to the last note played.
To choose the Key Mode:
1. Press the
misc params
button and use Soft Knob 3 to scroll to the
desired mode.
2. Play a few notes to listen to the result.
Key Mode settings are only relevant to Unison mode. They do not affect poly-
phonic playback.
