E. NOISE THRESHOLD

0-200

Threshold above which the instrument does not pick up 
external noise and trigger randomly (blue light flashes 
randomly). Will also affect the sensitivity of the lightest hits. 
May only need to adjust one or two notches either way. See 
10.0 page 13.

F. MAX POLYPHONY

64,128, 256, 512

This sets the maximum number of sounds heard at the same 
time. Too small and notes may be missed. Too high and 
latency may be noticeable, especially on computer based 
systems. This setting is about optimising your sound source as 
certain sound sources can only work with a limited polyphony. 

G. KEY CALIBRATION

 If a key is replaced or becomes less sensitive the individual key can be adjusted 
to bring the key/s into line. Screen 1 shows the key number and original sensitivity.
Bring your new or 'waning' key sensitivity into line at about 100. A  waning or
'losing sensitivity' key will have lost some dynamic after this process but will still 
play. This won't work if the key is broken. Press 

SAVE

 and the results are now 

saved and you will be back in Global Settings screen. YOU CAN PRESS EXIT AT 
ANY TIME. 

H. DISPLAY

Brightness – OFF to 100

I. CREATE BACKUP

Backs up all your patch settings – takes ≈ 5mins

J. RESTORE BACKUP

Overwrites the patch settings using the back up stored settings - takes ≈ 5mins

K. FACTORY RESET

Overwrites all settings to the factory default - takes ≈ 5mins

  

PRESS 'EXIT' AT ANY TIME TO GET OUT OF A SCREEN.

9.2 Song List

favourite patches or of the patches you need for a certain performance. See 9.0 on how to 
get into the Song List edit screen and on how to choose using patch and octave buttons.
