Can I input a tie in the step sequencer of the Boutique series units?

intervening notes to a tie.
To cancel this setting, temporarily turn off the applicable steps and then turn them on again.

Q. 

Is the step sequencer of the Boutique series units polyphonic?

Q. 

Is the chain mode of the Boutique series units valid even if a different model of 
unit is connected via a MIDI cable?

If you turn chain mode on for units of the same model and connect them with a MIDI cable, parameters are 

synchronized and the number of voices is expanded. (Four voices for one unit, eight voices for two units, …)

Q. 

Can I connect Boutique series models via MIDI and make them play in 
synchronization?

keyboard.

NOTE 

*  If you’re layering sounds, turn the chain mode setting off.
