From this page the musician can make some adjustments that are required to limit the keyboard range and the velocity for a Voice. It is thus
possible to arrange a number of voices in different parts of the Right section (split) and to call up the voice based on the key dynamics (veloc-
ity switch).

F1/F6 Voice:

This indicates the voice used for the part selected. To change it, refer to similar explanations for
page 1.

F2/F7 Range:

For each Voice it is possible to indicate the lower and higher limit of the keyboard within which
the voice will be played, simply by playing the relative note on the keyboard when selecting the
value or by using the

VALUE +/-

push buttons which, if pressed together at the same time, will

reset the value, setting it in

Off

. When this parameter is in Off the Voice will play on the whole

part of keyboard to the right of the split point. To be able to also play the Voice on the part of
keyboard to the left of the split point, the adequate keyboard range is to be set.

F3/F8 Velocity Switch:

This is used to enable the velocity switch mode, namely the use of the voice according to the key
dynamics, that can be modified using the

VALUE +/-

push buttons. The operating modes may be:

Normal:

The voice is always enabled whatever the velocity value set.

Low:

The Voice is enabled only for velocity values ranging from 0 to the velocity value specified

F10

Threshold

with the

VALUE +/-

push buttons.

High:

The Voice will only play for velocity values that range from the velocity value specified in

F10 Threshold

to value 127 (maximum dynamics).

Cross:

This can be enabled only for the first two Voices and it enables a gradual switching from

one Voice to another according to the dynamics, where the central point of this switching is set
by the

F10 Threshold

value.

F4/F9 Sustain - Portamento - Expression:

this is used to enable, or otherwise, the use of the Sustain, the Portamento and the Expression.
The three lines of parameters can only be accessed using the function push buttons

F4/F9

F5 Duet/Trio:

This is used to choose the polyphony response to the keyboard mode, to create interesting com-
binations between the voices.

Off:

This means that no alternative polyphony response is enabled.

Duet:

The first Voice Program will have priority as the highest note, the second Voice will have

priority as the lowest note.
For example, if the first Voice is a clarinet and the second Voice a trumpet, when the two notes
are played the clarinet will always play the highest note whereas the trumpet will always play the
lowest note.

Trio:

As for Duet but with the third Voice that will always play the lowest note.

Steel:

This is used to assign the pitch bend only to the lowest note between two notes played at

the same time, realistically simulating the typical Hawaiian guitar or pedal steel guitar effect.

Morph:

Using the Modulation Wheel it is possible to control the mix between the two voices

assigned to Voice 1 and 2. When the Modulation Wheel is set at minimum only the first Voice will
be heard; when it is at maximum only the second Voice will be heard. In this way it is possible to
obtain a morphing between the two Voices in real time controlled by the musician.
