• Solo Mode Priority
When multiple notes are played and held in solo mode, the last note
played is always heard. As notes are released, the solo mode priority
determines which note will take over from the last note played.
• High Note Priority - If multiple notes are being held in solo mode,
the highest key being held will play when the last-played key is
released.
• Low Note Priority - If multiple notes are being held in solo mode,
the lowest key being held will play when the last-played key is re-
leased.
• First Note Priority - If multiple notes are being held in solo mode,
and the last note is released, the note will jump back to the first note.
• Last Note Priority - If multiple notes are being held in solo mode,
only the note last pressed will play. If the note is released it jumps
back to the last note before that.
• Drum - If multiple notes are being held in solo mode, only the note
last pressed will play. If the note is released, no jumping occurs.

• Portamento Rate
Portamento is a smooth gliding between notes instead of the normal
instantaneous change in pitch when a new key is pressed. The porta-
mento rate is the time it takes to glide to the new pitch. The larger the
value, the slower the glide rate. The rate is adjustable from 1-127 or it
can be turned Off. Portamento glides at a linear rate between notes and
can be set separately for the primary and secondary layers. Portamento
works both in and out of Solo Mode.

• Portamento Shape
The portamento is variable from convex exponential (8) to linear, for
both the primary and secondary instruments. Using the exponential
shapes, the portamento rate will slow as the note nears its destination.
