The fields on the main EDIT SINGLE page are:
This shows the selected program name. Different programs may be
selected for editing by scrolling with the DATA control. You may also
select them using MIDI program change.
This field is not accessible but shows the number of keygroups used
in the selected program.
This field is also not accessible and shows the number of samples
used in the selected program. Please note that, because each
keygroup has four zones, it is possible for there to be more samples in
a program than there are keygroups. For example, a stereo program
with 5 keygroups would typically show 10 samples (5 x L and R).
This allows you to set crossfades for keygroups that overlap. As
described above, this can be used to smooth out abrupt transitions
between keygroups. You will note that this is a ‘global’ parameter that
affects the whole program and so any keygroups that overlap will be
subject to crossfading.
This special function turns the program into a monophonic program
with single triggering. The effect of single triggering is that if you hold
one note and play another, the pitch changes to the new note but the
attack of the new note is not re-triggered. For example:
Even when
is ON, playing each note separately will
cause the attack of each note to be re-triggered.
This function is extremely useful for emulating the playing styles and
phrasing of solo instruments such as flutes, oboe, clarinet,
saxophone, etc.. It can also be effectively used on solo and ensemble
strings and brass. It is almost essential when playing synth bass
sounds as it emulates the classic monophonic synth keyboard. You
will find it useful too, when playing leadlines of any kind. Owners of the
Akai EWI wind synthesiser will find this function invaluable in obtaining
better expression and phrasing.
