From this display, you can set parameters such as Mono/
Poly and Alternate Group. This display consists of two
pages, which can be called up via the Cursor [
N
] and [
M
]
buttons.
The first page when the INPUT display is called up:
The first page when the SOURCE display is called up:
The first page when the SOURCE display is called
up and “MIDI” is selected:

Mono/Poly
When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter deter-
mines the playback of each selected Trigger Input Jack, mono
or polyphonic. When the SOURCE display is called up, this
parameter determines the playback of each selected Trigger
Input Source, mono or polyphonic.
If “Mono” is selected, hitting the same pad repeatedly in suc-
cession will stop the sound generated by the previous hit, then
start the same sound again. If “Poly” is selected, this limita-
tion does not apply.
B
AltGroup (Alternate Group)
When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter deter-
mines the Alternate Group to which each selected Trigger
Input Jack is assigned. When the SOURCE display is called
up, this parameter determines the Alternate Group to which
each selected Trigger Input Source is assigned.
In a real acoustic drum kit, some drum sounds cannot physi-
cally be played simultaneously, such as open and closed hi-
hats. You can prevent Drum Voices from playing back simulta-
neously by assigning them to the same Alternate Group. Up to
127 Alternate Groups can be defined. You can also select “off”
here if you wish to allow the simultaneous playback of sounds.
C
RcvKeyOff (Receive Key Off)
When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter deter-
mines whether or not each selected Trigger Input Jack
responds to MIDI Note Off messages. When the SOURCE
display is called up, this parameter determines whether or not
each selected Trigger Input Source responds to MIDI Note
Off messages.
This parameter is normally set to off since the sounds of many
Drum Voices naturally decay and stop without the need for
Note Off messages. This parameter should be set to on when
the current Drum Voice has a sustained, non-decaying sound,
so that you can stop the sound by sending MIDI note off mes-
sages to the internal tone generator. The timing the MIDI note
off message is transmitted to the internal tone generator is
determined by the Gate Time parameter in the STK/ALT dis-
play. You can also use the Hold Mode parameter to control
MIDI Note Off messages (page 94).

NOTE
• Concerning the Drum Voices assigned to the same number (1 – 124) of
the Alternate Group, only one of these Voices will be played back fol-
lowing the last-hitting priority. Concerning the Drum Voices assigned to
the “HHOpen” and “HHClose,” a special rule (below) is applied.
• Playing the Voice assigned to “HHOpen” will not stop the sound of the
Voice assigned to “HHOpen” or “HHClose.” Playing the Voice
assigned “HHClose” will stop the sound of the Voice assigned to
“HHOpen”.
• In the INPUT display, an asterisk (*) will appear when the value set at
each Trigger Input source is different from this parameter.
